"Do you think this is just? You say, 'I am in the right, not God.' Yet you ask Him, 'What profit, [a.k.a. benefit,] is it to me, and what do I gain by not sinning?' Job 35:2-3 NIV Bible
I'm ashamed that I need to share this with you. I go through the motions of asking the Lord God, but I have already determined in my mind, what is best. That means that I'm not being open to what the Lord God knows is best! Am I only looking for things that benefit me, or those, whom I love and care about?
Just thinking I know better than the Lord God, is arrogant at the very least. It turns out that I am saying, "No, no, no, Lord, do it the way that I want!" I think that one of the many benefits of this blog, is that the Lord shows me what I am actually doing, or not doing what He's asked me to do!
Can I get over myself, and thinking that I know what is best? It was the Lord God, Who waited until I gave up control, and thinking that I could make my weight loss happen, before He showed me that He is in ultimate control! You would think that a 80+ pound weight loss, would remind me to get off of my high horse, and be more humble to the Lord God, Who really knows what should happen.
