NOT ME
Today's reading: Psalm 120-133

"Lord, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I don't concern myself with matters too great or awesome for me." Psalm 131:1 NLT

Oh, how I wish I could state this verse is how I live.

That I never took on the role of judge and jury.

That I never attempted to control a situation.

That I never thought I knew more, and knew better, than another.

That I never...gulp...attempted to be God.

How much simpler my life would be if I let God be God and do the things God can do and busy myself with what He asks me to do.

Even in my prayer life.

Especially in my prayer life.

My prayers tend to be more instructions for Him to follow that requests that I see His will.

Been there?

I don't want to concern myself with things too great for me.

I don't want to tackle knowing the future based upon what little I know of the present.

I don't want to have the control I believe I want to have.

I don't want to play God--in my life or in the lives of my loved ones.
