You know...you gotta love Paul
Still thinking on him bit by that snake and then suffering no ill effects and how that picture helps me to REMEMBER it can never be about what people think - how they judge - how I judge . And then today in 1 Cor. he starts off pretty confident and I'm trying to get simply... be confident and free in who Christ is and who I might be because of His Spirit in me?
And then his saying in....1 Cor. 10:7.....caught up in wanting our own way....that frightens me that THAT battle must be waged constantly that THAT tension forever has to be recognized...that my selfishness colors itself differently maybe, but NEVER ever leaves.....and yet YOUR GRACE covers me again and again, over and over...that my selfishness never goes away and Your Grace never quits....
it my selfishness maybe doesn't look the same....changes this 'don't move'...is it really you?? or am I selfishly protecting time and money....from any who might need/make demands on it??
I think if I moved now, I would look like Ricky Bobby in Talledaga Nights after the wreck running around in his underwear screaming....I'm on fire.....look at me look at me, I've been trying to be good but it's too much....help me help me....
Yeah I think it would be that ridiculous and in the being still, no moving, not running away.... You are preparing me to not do that...so, to not move and hurt anyone...to not make it about me.....to obediently wait and see what ever it is YOU will have me DO......I hope anyway....
