I know, O LORD, that a man’s life is not his own;
it is not for man to direct his steps.
it is not for man to direct his steps.
Jeremiah 10:23

The Lord convicted me this morning that recently I have been trying to plan my own steps. Not intentionally for some things, yet more intentionally that I would like to admit for others. I have not been purposeful in the way I live my life. I have not been seeking Him and His wisdom enough. I have not given up my whole life and all my desires in order to see Him glorified.
I have been resisting Him.
Jeremiah 10:23 is so true. It is not for me to direct - that is for Him to do. My life is not my own.
I have a hard time admitting my mistakes, but how can I pretend that I have it all together when in reality I don't? I need to be so much more committed to Jesus, so much more in love with Him, so much more willing to pick up my cross and follow Him. I'm realizing more and more that the Christian life is not an easy one. It is tough and many times painful.
Yet I also have to realize that I have a Savior who is leading the way. He is worthy of all my sacrifice and praise.
Oh, that I will hear His leading and follow.
My life is not my own.
