It’s now the first Tuesday of 2016. I’m still a rambling’ man.
- I hope 2016 is better.
- But really, what does that mean?
- I will develop some more complete thoughts regarding last year later this week.
- But really everything I can identify that I want to go better has little to do with me.
- It’s about everything else going wrong.
- A lot went wrong in 2015, so I want 2016 to be better so not as much goes wrong.
- And…who’s in charge of that?
- Hmmm…I want a better year in 2016 so I don’t have to endure things beyond my control.
- Well, that’s brutal. Yeah, pretty selfish too.
- Maybe God will use all that disappointment to bring growth.
- Instead of “I want better” I should say “I’m ready for whatever God brings.”
- What a big difference between those two statements!
- Lord, help me see what you have, rather than focusing on what I want.
