People, especially Americans, are goal driven. We see life as a process which leads up to a specific goal. Our whole life is preparation for one moment in the spotlight. This is not so with the Lord. It is not the goal that He seeks to accomplish. It is the process itself that He is most concerned with. He wants us to learn to utilize His power in our life so that in the midst of life's trouble, we are calm because our dependance is on the Lord. This confidence in Him is what brings Him glory, not a future moment in the spotlight.
Daily Prayer: Father, so often times we don't understand Your purposes. We sacrifice Your achievements for a moment in time which tends to bring attention to ourselves and not for Your glory at all. Forgive us Father. Set us on the path once again. Help us not to live more than one day at a time. Let us look to You for our sufficiency and no further. In Your Holy Name we pray Amen.
