I have been struggling with this every day this week. I decided in the beginning of this week that I was going to do my best to live Philippians 4:4-8. I guess maybe I chose the wrong week cause it seemed like everything that could go wrong went wrong. (Seemed cause I know that overall it wasn't all that bad of a week.) Every time I did my best to live out those verses and it became harder and harder as the week progressed.
Then yesterday things got a lot more overwhelming. I allowed them to affect me. Then last night as I was spending time with God He caused me to think on some things.
The whole problem this week has been that I have been focused on myself. About what is going on in my life. How things are not going how I want them to. The different issues that I am facing. God wants me to realize my problems but not dwell on them to think about Him and what He is doing in my life. How that He is bigger and far greater than anything He allows to happen in my life.
Then also that life is not about me. It isn't about everything going my way. Or things really working out like I want them to. My life ought to be about others. Especially other believers. I ought to love my fellow believers more than myself and care for their needs and serve them and do all that I can to help them and show that I love them.
God wants for my life to be completely about Him and His glory and me working to see all the people around me succeed and see God use them in the greatest of their capacity. That has been my biggest issue all week and probably for longer than I think. I am way to Micah centered and concerned. I am going to work on putting others first in my life and God above everything and giving Him full reign in my life. I want God to completely rule in my life and get the utmost glory!
May God's people fully surrender their wills to God that He might have His will done on earth as it is in heaven! I want this to be true in my life.
