Even [like] the Son of Man [didn't come] to be ministered [to,] but to minister, and to give His life [as] a ransom for many. Matthew 20:28 KJV Bible paraphrased
I was lying in bed contemplating all the arrogant thoughts and plans that I recently had. In that I was planning what I should do for the Lord God, is arrogant in itself! Like I, a sinful human being, can know what the Lord wants. There was a time when I would have eaten over all of this, but instead, I got up to type this out, and see what the Lord wants me to learn from it.
I say all this, reflecting back to the time the Lord had it on my heart to start a new blog, and I had the gall to say to the Lord, "Are you really sure that You want me to do this, Lord? I'm really very busy, and maybe there's someone else, who could do a better job." The Lord continued to tug on my heart about this, and eventually, I realized that if the Lord God wanted me to do this, He would provide the way to have it happen successfully, and He did. But why am I so resistant to attempt new things that He might have on my heart? Knowing that He was about to give His life for us on the cross, Jesus Christ didn't say, "I really am too busy now, to give My life for Debbie and others." He was willing to do, what was needed to provide Eternal Life for those who believe in Him.
Jesus Christ came with the heart of a servant, to serve and to give His life for others, but instead I'm trying to think of grandiose things that I might do. Again, this is arrogant. My lack of humbleness, astounds me! I guess that I thought I was humble, but am I willing to focus myself on what may seem trivial? After prayerfully contemplating this for several days now, it seems that I'm looking at things through the eyes of a sinful, arrogant human being, and not through the eyes of the Lord God, for He alone knows what is needed!
