Podcast - A Perfect Day June 14, 2008 7:46pm Saturday
Sometimes our own pride gets in the way of what we are doing, it influences what we are doing actually motivating us; our desire not to look bad in our own eyes and/or in the eyes of others. It is so often that pride that makes it difficult for us to hear that quiet voice of God; even in the little things we know what we should be doing but we don't do it.
Amidst this idea we've all had days that we consider "perfect" and days that we consider "not going our way". Believers that are focussed on God's will however have a different perspective; at least we try to have a different perspective. As believers we try to understand what God's will is during any given day, even during a particular moment of our day. And when things don't "go our way" we try to realign our desires with the standard, God, instead of "our will".
Friends, even believing friends, are often an unintentional influence in this struggle as we ourselves are. And when we allow ourselves to be influenced by the pride "we don't want to disapoint them" we commit a sin that is just as great as when we allow our own wills to influence us over the will of God, that ever so quiet influence which we should be focusing on. "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.".
