If I know myself from God's perspective, that will be one step in receiving from God what he wants me to have. | |||
Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story trouble, at least for this moment. We then walked back into the house, and both of us were happy but for different reasons. I'm not sure how long she had that pineapple tree planted in our front yard, and I was afraid to ask because it may have been weeks or months. I wasn't going to spoil a moment by expressing the level of my dazement. Later on, as I was drinking coffee in my chair, I got to thinking about something very serious. What other areas of my life are a daze? I could ask my wife, but then I would learn more about my daze then I needed to know at the time. One daze at a time is enough for me to handle. I'm really not ready to find out how much I don't know at this point in my life. It may be too overwhelming. Or, I could start paying attention to my life each day. That is a challenging task, but maybe it is something I need to do. Every day I should ask my question, “What don't I know today?” Maybe I shouldn't do it every day; maybe I should do it once a week. Or thinking more along that line, maybe I should do it once a month. If I could learn once a month what I don't know, I think my life would increase in a positive direction. In my Bible reading for the evening, I read what David said. "Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am” (Psalm 39:4). If I know myself from God's perspective, that will be one step in receiving from God what he wants me to have. Tweet
