“As long as you maintain your own personal interests and ambitions, you cannot be completely aligned or identified with God’s interests.” – Oswald Chambers
Thoughts from Mommy Duck…
This was a quote from a quiet time I had recently that resonated with me. How often do my interests and ambitions get in the way of God’s plan? Even when I am working hard to serve Him, if my intentions are out of place, then my interests do not line up with the Lord’s. And that misalignment, if left unchecked, will begin to cause me to pull away from the Lord. I have seen this very thing happen in my own life. I get busy doing what I think the Lord wants me to do, when in all actuality, I should have presented the idea to the Lord, ask for His wisdom, and wait for His direction.
Learning to set aside our human nature takes practice. It just as with anything, the more we practice, the better we will become.
Galatians 2:20
My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Until tomorrow,
