God's Plan

Yesterday I was sitting in the chapel enjoying worship with my fellow brother and sister staff members, but the whole time I also wanted to play the piano myself.  I mostly wanted to because I wanted everyone to see how good I was.  I knew this wasn't the right attitude, but I didn't really want to admit that.  After a while, I finally sat down and started to play after most everyone had left.  It was through this that I was able to start teaching someone the simple-to-me task of playing the piano.  Tonight I sat listening to her play and was touched by how God had used my selfish desire to show me that I must be a servant.

I am going to challenge myself to give God the glory.  Next time I am tempted to selfishly show others my God-given ability to play the piano, I will instead want to play so that they hear the music and give glory to God.

"To God be the glory forever and ever.  Amen."
