The Scriptures strongly teach that our Triune God is opposed to pride. My anxiety and worry list are strong indicators that I think my life is about me, but honoring Him. I have a long way to go! I am big in control and the sooner I surrender to His authority the more I’m in sync with Him.
“To follow Jesus implies that we enter into a way of life that is given character and shape and direction by the one who calls us. To follow Jesus means picking up rhythms and ways of doing things that are often unsaid but always derivative from Jesus, formed by the influence of Jesus. To follow Jesus means that we can't separate what Jesus is saying from what Jesus is doing and the way that he is doing it. To follow Jesus is as much, or maybe even more, about feet as it is about ears and eyes" (The Way of Jesus, Eugene H. Peterson, 22).” - Eugene Peterson
