Matthew 5:4
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Meek is not a word that I've EVER used to describe me.
I am very strong-willed and exercise my right to be in complete control as often as necessary (which is most of the time). But lately, God has had some other plans for me. He's challenged me to sit. Not to talk. Not to take control. He's challenged my humility. He's asked me not to attempt stepping ahead of Him.
THAT'S HARD!
I'm not the patient "wait for it" type of person. I'm more like that lawyer commercial where the guy is yelling out the window, "It's my money and I want it now." I don't want to wait.
God is daring me to be balanced, not exercisign my right to be right. (Today's Dare).
Today, I prayerfully resolve to be meek no matter how long I have to wait...and wait...and wait.
