My first thought on reading today’s entry was something along these lines: Oh, good – more on selfishness. Haven’t we covered this ground already? What more is there? What will I find to write about?
And as the words have settled over me, I’m called once again to look at my own heart. How am I still wanting to be the most important thing in my life? Still trying to get my way?
When I’m talking to people, am I more concerned with expressing myself, or making sure I understand them fully?
Is my day centered around waiting on the Lord, or charging ahead with whatever I feel like doing?
Do I wait for God to meet my needs, or do I figure out a way to meet them myself?
The list goes on… For every moment when I think I’m allowing God full privileges of the remote control, there are six where I demand it back.
So today, I’m taking a step back to examine my motives, notice how often I take control, and look to give it back…
