God has been sweet to convict me and break me over the last couple weeks, and especially the last 24 hours. I am humbled by how quickly I can lose my complete dependence upon His wisdom, His guidance/direction, His power, His plan, His presence, HIM. And as a leader, how quickly those I lead can follow suit, or at least not feel the need to speak up and hold me accountable.
I'm just reminded today that if it's not His plan, His way, for His glory, I really don't want to have any part in it. I just don't see the point. There's an abundance of man-made goals, strategies, plans, etc. I don't want that though, I simply cannot- will not- give my life to that; it's just not worth it to me.
I long to live out this conviction more fully each day. I'm grateful for the ways God shows me my pride, my sin- how He somehow completely breaks me so gently. But oh that I would need to be broken less and less... that I would acknowledge and embrace my utter need for and complete dependence upon His steadfast love in each moment... that I would abide in Him as He abides in me... OH TO BE MORE LIKE CHRIST...
