EVALUATION
Today’s reading: Psalm 72-74
“Then I realized how bitter I had become, how pained I had been by all I had seen. I was so foolish and ignorant--and I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you. Yet I still belong to you, you are holding my right hand. You will keep guiding me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny. Whom have I in heaven but you?..” Psalm 73:21-26 NLT
A day of self-evaluation.
Yesterday I spent a lot of wasted time moaning and groaning, complaining and griping, detailing and listing the faults of others. What annoyed me, what pushed the wrong buttons, what got under my skin.
But today? Today, I’m spending a little time with God in regards to the things about me that rub Him the wrong way.
I’m a brat. I’m a spoiled princess. I’m a catered-to, expect-a-lot-more-than-I-deserve, never-want-to-break-a-sweat, hand-it-to-me-on-a-silver-platter kind of gal. I’m a griper. I’m a me, me, me kind of person.
And that disgusts me. And it disgusts my Savior.
And this morning, He reminded me of it all…all I am and all He offers me. And after our little talk, I have little to complain about!
