The law of their God is in their hearts; [so] their feet don't slip. Psalm 37:31 NIV Bible
Since I wrote the previous post about trying to play God, I've had a lot of soul searching to do. I guess I become complacent and don't realize what my actions are really saying to the Lord. It's kind of ironic, since I have a blog titled, What Do Your Actions Say to Jesus?
Anyway, today I was praying, Lord, don't let me slip through Your fingers! I got to thinking about this. It's just like when I ate whatever I wanted, regardless that I knew how it affected my body, my weight, my moods, my self-esteem, and my family, but I would pray, God, please help me loose weight!
It's similar in both prayers, that I wanted to do whatever I wanted, but I put the burden on the Lord God, and He was supposed to make sure things turned out the way that I preferred. The Lord isn't Who would be letting me slip through His fingers! It's me and my arrogant, self-righteous attitude, thinking I know what's best, and I leave the Lord God to pick up the pieces. Christ has many lessons for me through all of this!!!!
