Are you serving to build your own ego? "He must increase, but I must
decrease." (John 3:30) I admit...it's a hard thing to do. To not take
credit for things. Whether it's praise from someone else about your
kids, your job, or your hobby. You can start to build an altar if you
let it go to your head. Matthew 20:26 “Whoever wants to become great
among you must be your servant.” If we stop trying to get higher and bow
lower to serve - that is when we win. Lysa TerKeurst says, "You are
never more powerful than when you are on your knees." Get low today.
This week's blog topic from Proverbs 31 OBS is on “Worry”… AND I know a thing or two about worry. I’m betting a lot of you reading this do as well. Dictionary.com defines worry as: “ to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret. ” Torment oneself. Suffer. Fret. That’s what I can do to myself sometimes. I’ve heard that if you worry you don’t really trust that God can handle it. You don’t trust God with it. That’s hard to swallow for me. Because I worry about my kids, my family, me, friends, etc. But I’m in the Bible every single day. I am a Jesus girl. So for me to worry and then see that my worry means I don’t trust that God can handle it is hard. UGH. I am getting better about it though. My time with God every morning is helping. When I start to worry about something…I begin to pray. I stop the tormenting in its tracks and give it to Jesus. Now, I may have to give it to Jesus more than once.
