Are our minds worth trusting?

Leaning on our own understanding is something the scripture teaches not to do: Proverbs 3:5-6 5 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart,And lean not on your own understanding;6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,And He shall direct your paths." And yet we do. The Hebrew word in Proverbs here is biynah which means: understanding, discernment. Interestingly enough, the very first temptation was to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (Genesis 2:17) The Hebrew word knowledge here is daath, which means: discernment, understanding, wisdom. It seems we are tempted to use our own minds to figure things out, and we're not supposed to. In the army the officers would tell the enlisted "Don't think soldier, you're not paid to think." The goal of the military training was so that you just acted, responded, because in a battle situation you may not have time to think. Adam and Eve were perfect, and yet their own knowledge, once they ate of the tree, was not good. God's knowledge was good enough. We have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16) does this mean we are to default back to our own minds? NO! Lean not to your own understanding! Don't we want the Lord to lead us and guide us in all things? At what point do we say to God, "No, that's OK, I got it from here." Are we fools!? To God be all glory and honor and power. To Him we lift up our praise. To the human intellect we say; submit to Christ's. In this world we are taught to think for ourselves, but Christ has won that battle for us! He is risen. Trust in Him, and His mind! His will never fail. I have friends the have dementia. Their minds are no longer trustworthy, but I ask; "Were they ever?" If God say we are not to trust in ourselves, but to trust in Him, shouldn't that include our understanding? A teacher that is trying to teach his student something they don't understand, if that student refuses to be taught, and insists that he is right, above his professor, and is indeed wrong, then this student is considered a fool. And when our teacher is Christ, how much more the fool are we if we do not listen and learn from our master. Unless of course He is not our master, but in intellect we still retain ourselves as master. I had a national parks ranger in the Grand Canyon tell me "The Lord has my heart, but not my mind" in the area of scientific understanding. Let me tell you something; when we think we know best when we are lost, we will remain lost for a very long time, if not for ever. If we pretend to know better than God at any point in time, we are lost. It's funny we think we can trust in our own minds when scripture teaches us to constantly renew it through the washing of the water of the Word. (Ephesians 5:26) "Lord we need You. Every hour of everyday we need You. Forgive us for our pride. Jesus please save us. Save not just our hearts, but renew our minds as well, through the washing of the water of the word. In Jesus name, Amen."
