The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. -Matthew 10: verse 24
Sometimes I think I am smart. I think of clever answers to difficult questions. I do things that show off my skills and training. I speak impressive words, wrapped around complex ideas. And if I do this fast enough and often enough, I begin to rely on myself. I start believing I am self-reliant.
The start of a problem! Now, what happens next is as predictable as night following day--I stumble, fall, and hurt myself. Sometimes I hurt others near me too.
Maybe remembering that I don't have to be perfect can open me to being what God wants me to be.
Today, I will try doing things God's way instead of my way.
