God often lays a Scripture or meditation thought before me early in the day and cuts into my life. As only He can, God reveals areas that are not entirely selfless, not entirely humble, not entirely loving, not entirely pure.
“If indeed it be necessary, O Lord, to bury the workman, that my work may be finished by other hands, help me never to think of myself as indispensable. May I be content to die with my work undone, knowing that my task is to work at the fulfillment of Thy purposes, not to work them out.” - Anonymous
It is the pride within me that causes me to take on more than God intends - more than He has called me to accomplish on my own. It is the pride within me that drives me to “do” one more thing while neglecting the best thing. It is the pride within me that deceives me into thinking I am more important - and perhaps indispensable.
Lord God, forgive me. Lord God, continue to cut into my life and reveal my prideful arrogance.
Where is God cutting into your life this morning? What is God revealing to you today?
