Have you ever used the phrase, "Watch your mouth! " ? or "Watch it!" as a warning for your children? The other day, I was frustrated with my daughter when she got into yet another mess that she knew she was not supposed to get into. As my temper flared, I stopped and "saw" myself as she might see me. I was being a terrible role model and worse- I was not glorifying God in my reaction. I immediately changed my approach but it was not easy! There are so many times in my day that I do have the option of either glorifying God or not. God is really keeping me on my toes! It's hard when we go against our fleshly nature and attempt to follow God! Like Jonah, many times, we want to say, "God, that is just too hard, and I just really don't feel like doing that right now. " When this happens, God is going to continue to attempt to get our attention or let blessings pass us by. I think we underestimate God and His power to do His will through us. Expect Miracles and you will see them! "It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy." Romans 9:16 My prayer today is that God will reveal His will for my life. Not just the large decsions, but EVERY decision, even the little tiny ones such as the words I use and the actions I take minute by minute. One way he reminds me of this is to "show" me how I am acting. I will be more aware of my behavior my being in a contant state of "Watching myself! " |
