Isaiah 10:15 (New Living Translation)
15 But can the ax boast greater power than the person who uses it?
Is the saw greater than the person who saws?
Can a rod strike unless a hand moves it?
Can a wooden cane walk by itself?
I am reminded not to be so self-sufficient and become proud for the things that I have and the person I see myself to be. God is leading me to something good in my life only I need to have more humility and obedience to God in my heart.
I am disappointed right now. Because of the way some people have been treating me but I guess, I have expected too much again from them. Why do I have this attitude? Why do I have this thinking inside me? Maybe because I am a person who needs to be appreciated most of the time. Yet, in spite of everything that I do to do good to others, I am left unnoticed and unappreciated. Because I seek constantly humans' approval and love. Still, at the end of it all, it is still God that will count, God and me.
I really have to ask God to change my thinking. And the way I perceive my service to others. I need to keep in mind all the time that to do good to others is pleasing to God.That my reward comes from Him and if people would appreciate it, then thanks if not, then God sees me. I need to look into my heart more and see what really motivates and drives me.
I am being set apart by God. He has a big plan for me, all I need to do is to obey Him and trust Him. And if success comes my way, I will give thanks to Him and give Him all the credit. It's not about me. It's about the One who created me.
