Chapter 7 versus 31-33: The second step of humility is that one does not love one’s will…
The constant struggle I face is to discern God’s will and how to separate it out from I am projecting out of my own selfish wants and needs that get me headed down the wrong path. The only thing that I figured out so far is that if what I am called to do works to the benefit of others before it works to my own- if it ever does - it is probably something that comes from God. The caveat is that I can’t just assume that is the case if what I really looking for is the secondary gain from the accolades and praise that can be the reward for service to others. Actually, the bigger struggle is to remember to step and sit quietly to ask for the Lord to reveal himself to me.
