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."
