Regard

Daily Reading: Amos 4 & 5, Psalm 28

Psalm 28:5 "Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up."

I feel very convicted this morning about this very thing. I miss God sometimes. I don't blaspheme Him or outright judge His operations as evil...I just ignore Him. What horrible consequences this verse brings to mind. I don't think this is a one time offense that is punished so severely and I think that I am still safe from such a fate. I simply see in myself the tendency to allow my feelings to overplay the potential I have. I see what is possible and try to make it happen. I try to handle things myself because I have talents or gifts that God has given me for such a time as this...right? How arrogant to believe that I can do anything without Him. I am tired, and maybe that is where He wants me. To be so tired I have to hand over my silly little toy tools and say..."Here, you fix it."
