Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

If you spend enough time fighting another man’s demons, they become your own.

Another way of looking at that is in service to others do not neglect your own needs.

Perhaps the better confession is that God doesn’t need my help. I need His.

God asks for our consideration and cooperation but not our help. That battle has already been won and I have not been careful enough in my service to remember that. I’ve been forgetful.

Will any of this help you? I don’t know and I really shouldn’t care if I trust God. My understanding is not going to change anything. God does.

Is God changing me? I hope so. Am I paying enough attention to what He is doing in me? Probably not.

I believe I trust God but do the words of my mouth and the actions of my hands reflect that? Are my feet planted in the Way? If I don’t look down now and then, should I be surprised to find out I’ve taken a misstep?

Attending to my own salvation is just as important as attending to that of others. I’ve been forgetful.

I thirst.
