Monday, June 14, Responsibility

Over the years I have had a lot of different responsibilities. Because of my attitude and actions I have lost some of that responsibility. When I get to thinking I am bigger than I am, I lose perspective and begin to say things and do things that are not pleasing to those in authority. The same thing happens when I am doing work for the Lord. When I get to thinking I am in charge and things should go my way, God is not pleased and sometimes has to take me down a notch or two to remind me that He is in charge and it is His plan. I am to do the work and leave the rest to Him. I have found more joy in doing my work and taking care of my responsibilities when I recognize He is in charge and I leave the results of my work to Him. He has a plan and my part is to be responsible by being prepared and doing whatever comes my way in a way that portrays Jesus to others and not myself.
