Revelation 3:8 "I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. "
I have been struggling the last few months with my insignificance and low organizational authority. I am like most people in that I have no power.
And I get frustrated. I see things happening, decisions made, people mistreated - and I have no ability to get things done.
But this morning the Lord encouraged me. He is the authority. He has the keys. He has the access. He is in control.
So I repent. I repent of my losing attitude. Lord, you control my state and my finances. You could care less about my status. All You desire is that I will be faithful to You.
My attitude has hampered this. Please forgive me.
I Corinthians 1:26" For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. 30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31 so that, as it is written, 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'"
Lord, You are Sovereign and in control. You know my desires and my evil manipulative ways. Please forgive my frustration of not patiently trusting in You. Your ways are not my ways. I now humbly seek You and Your timing. Whatever my circumstance, may I glorify You in my joy and steadfastness. My discontentment is sin. Amen
