Like a little child…

Everyday faith

I’ve been wondering recently whether or not to make my blog more public. God has put it on my heart to clean it up, delete some un-glorifying posts, and see what might happen. I certainly don’t expect a mad rush of people to start reading this, but at least I’ll keep myself accountable & make sure my writings, while honest, reflect the love of God.

This week at work I’m being challenged to form a better relationship with someone I don’t particularly care for, and they feel the same way. If it were up to me, I would ignore the advice and keep to myself, pretending everything was fine. However, I opened up my Beth Moore study just minutes ago and was confronted with the truth – how God wants me to react:

“Lord, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I do not get involved in things too great or too difficult for me. Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself like a little child with its mother; I am like a little child.” Psalm 131: 1-2.

What an honor it would be to say these things to God! And how much more relaxing my life would be. Now the question – how do I balance working in a corporate world while trying to live the truth of the Word? The whole point of this business is to take on projects of importance; to put yourself in difficult situations and succeed; to fight loudly for what you are “due.”

I’d rather be a child, a quiet warrior daughter of God.
