Sheesh...

So I reread my post from a few days ago.  Sheesh, what a baby.

Those of you who go to my church and happened to be there last night, the Pastor’s message really hit home with me.

Those of you who missed it, or don’t go to my church, he preached from Exodus 3.  God is telling Moses to tell the Israelites His message and Moses replies “Who am I…”  You should go read it for yourself.

Pastor Shawn talked about how we place our identity in our popularity, position (whether at work, family or whatever) and our performance when really, we should look for our identity in God.  God will never fail, and those things will.  Popularity fades, we could get fired from our job, we fail to peform.  God’s response to Moses in the passage above says it best: “I will be with you.”

So, yes I get it God.  I shouldn’t whine when I’m feeling down about myself.  I am very blessed to have my family, my job and everything else you have seen fit to give me.  Instead, I will look to you.

Isn’t it great how God uses something you don’t see coming to teach you something?
