Do you ever have one of those days when if someone were to look at you wrong you might "blow their head off". Yeh, well, today was one of those days. I could feel the grumpiness rising up in me early on in the day, but I couldn't stop it. As the day moves on, I have about 5 different moments of frustration. A few of these moments could have been handled better. After about the 4 time of failing miserably and allowing frustration to take over, I cried out for God to help me. And then I failed again in a different situation. First of all, why did it take that long for me to cry out for God's help. Why do you I think I can handle things on my own? Why do I think I can teach classes and coach sports teams on my own? Why would I even want to? Well, honestly because I like to take the glory. But it's so much better when God is working through me and receiving the glory. I fail on my own! It takes a day of many failures for God to remind me of the simple truth that, "it's not all about me." Oh, Lord, remind us daily to reach for your strength and to live for your glory and not our own. I need you! For the past few months, the Lord keeps bringing this verse back to my mind.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways)acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
7 Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
8 It will be )healing to your flesh
and refreshment to your bones.
