I started a new book last night. "It's Not About Me" by Max Lucado. This is a book that I found in a 'free' pile at my church, after they cleaned out the library. Can't beat THAT price!

I learned the life lesson that, "It's not about me....but about GOD and HIS will that truly matters", quite a few years ago. Over the years, many incidents, people and teachings contributed to my coming to terms with this Truth. The essay entitled "Tyranny of the Urgent" was one such writing that contributed to my understanding of who God is and what is truly important in life. Another occasion in life specifically forced me to 'abdicate' lordship of my life! I was "de-throned", so to speak! The Holy Spirit teaches us in many ways, every time in line with God's Word. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus spoke saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth".

I try to live my life doing ALL THINGS for the Glory of the Father. Of course, I fall short....but this basic tenet superintends my thinking and actions. A reminder of who *I* am and who *GOD* is will do me much good in my Christian walk.
