1/21/14

Joshua 3:5 "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you".

The last couple of days, God has been dealing with me about my self-pity. The last few years have been tough, but I've spent enormous energy in self-pity.  I've gained weight because I feel like I deserve to eat because I've been treated unfairly. I've let my spiritual disciplines lapse because I'm always "tired".

I think I'm just wired to dwell in self-pity, but I want to begin to break that habit in my life.  I'm not a victim. I'm not powerless.  I can't control other people or how they treat me, but I can control how I respond, what I think, and how I continue to embrace the spiritual disciplines.

Lord, I want to consecrate myself.  I want you to do amazing things.  I don't want to allow helplessness and self-pity control my life.
