Whew! I didn't get assigned to a case yesterday, so my civic duty is now complete.
I was thinking this morning about how much of my devotional life is spent in pursuit of getting something from God - blessing, good feelings, understanding, wisdom, whatever. This isn't necessarily wrong, but I often settle for less than the best in this regard. It doesn't occur to me that maybe I'm there for God's benefit, and not just the other way around. Do I use God? It would be better to worship him. Now, if as a result of my worship and right devotion I receive wisdom, understanding, good feelings, and blessings, that's all the better. I just tend to get things out of order.
