MORE THAN ME

Life is about so much more than me and you.  There are those around us who depend on our faithfulness and strength.  When we choose to live for me, we take a chance on leaving them hanging or disappointed in how we live.  In Psalm 69, David prayed to the Lord in verse 6 that those who hoped in the Lord would not be disgraced because him (David) and they wouldn’t be put to shame as they seek the Lord.  He had just admitted his folly and guilt were not hidden from God.

 

That is where we all stand.  We know that the Lord knows all there is to know about us and we know how sinful we are, but those around us may not have any idea at all.  Can you imagine the disgrace and shame we could bring on our family and friends and God’s name if people really knew all of our sins?

 

My prayer today for myself and for you is that we will overcome and do the will of the Father by yielding to the Spirit that resides within us.  Our desire should be to bring glory, honor, and praise to the Name of the Lord in all we endeavor to accomplish.  We will be successful if we will do as I Peter 1:13 tells us to do – “Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.”  He will be revealed if we will do our part.  Be Blessed!
