Once again, here we are.
Today as I was doing my devos I came across an interesting passage in Luke. Jesus asks the disciples who the people are saying He is? They replied and then He asks them who they think He is? Peter of course replies first, and says you are the Son of God. Jesus reply at first confused me because He told them not to tell anyone… YET. As I thought about that at first I was like man why on earth would He not want people to know who He was? But, as I thought about to myself, I realized that no matter what good I am doing for God, if it is not in His time than it is not in His will. It just reminded me that I must seek not only His will but also His timing.
Also, in Oswald today he challenged us to make sure we are looking at the sliver in others eyes while we have a huge old log in our own. As I read it I realized that so many times I am looking at what other people need to work on instead of what my own life needs for improvement.
My prayer for today is that I would again be real with God today, and that I would not be a hypocrite and being looking at other faults when I have my own I need to be focused on. And that I would be sensitive to the Lord’s timing in my life for today and the future!
