Remembering Who I Am

Several times in the last few days, the same verse has been given to me.  "He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way." (Psalm 25:9, NLT)  That verse was mentioned in 3 of 5 email devotionals that I received yesterday.  Then today this one: "The humble will see their God at work and be glad. Let all who seek God's help be encouraged." (Psalm 69:32 NLT)

I have been feeling lately, like I have become something I am not.  Like things are just not in sync, like something is missing and I have become someone that is really not me, not the "me" that God intends me to be. I think sometimes life has a way of throwing us a curve ball, that seems to make us chase the ball rather than focus on the goal.  We go off on some "tangent" and suddenly, it's like how did I get here?  I can not tell you for sure, how many times in recent months I have said those words in regards to my life or situations around me. Then this comes: "He leads the humble, teaching them His way" and "the humble will see God at work" and "Let all who seek God's help be encouraged".

I want to see God at work in my life and all around me.  I want to walk in HIS way, not my way.  I want to be encouraged and be an encourager.  That is what I so love about God, no matter where we are, He is there.  No matter what we do, He is there.  He molds us, and shapes us into what He wants.  He allows us the freedom of choice.  When we choose unwisely He is there - when we turn back and run hard after Him.  Humility is the key.  If we are proud, we can not be taught or led. Humility is what I seek.... and God knew that I needed to be reminded of that.
