Struggle

I am struggling with technology again today. Grrrrr!  But God knows this, so why am I so frustrated? He has it all under control and is leading me through this for His purpose. I will keep you posted and hopefully send out a prayer tomorrow. Thank you to the beautiful reader who, once again, gave me encouragement at church yesterday to keep the blog going.

And let perseverance be perfect, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. - James 1:4

Tuesday - September 10 - struggle

When I work hard for a cause, do I finish exhausted and spent, or do I feel elated and rejoice that I have contributed to goodness? Am I proud and boastful? Do I feel slighted if my name is not called out in lights? The light is not mine to command.  It is God's alone. The good that happens does not happen because of my actions, but because God has created this good. I am merely the instrument that was used to unfold this moment and God is the Glorious God who holds it. The best works I do in life are those when I hold the discipline to step out of the way, and let God be.


I am the Lord and there is not other, there is no God besides me. It is I who arm you, though you know me not, so that toward the rising and the setting of the sun men may know that there is none besides me. - Isaiah 45:5,6
