We are daily inundated with the ‘I/Me’ focus in our present day societal culture. If not circumspect in our attitude, we can
easily be duped into the fallacy that we can do anything ourselves……..our
efforts/merit. We also tend to view
life events in terms of ‘what’s in it for me’! Many passages in God’s Word show us to think
less of self and more of others. Deuteronomy. 8:17-18 warns of an egocentric heart- You may say to yourself, "My power and the strength of
my hands have produced this wealth for me." But remember the LORD your God, for it is he
who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant,
which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today. The true source is not us……..but our Awesome God. He gives freely, He loves abundantly. As we journey through this life, perhaps our
mindset should be, ‘what’s in it(my life) for the Lord’! Am I recognizing the source of
blessings(children, faithful spouse, jobs, life needs, church, etc)? Do I honor God in my actions with all He
entrusts to me? Recognize, Trust, Honor,
Praise, and Give Thanks daily to our faithful God. Blessings in your pursuit…….TO
