In any case, we missed the boat. After having too many of these self-centered days myself, I've decided to make a new start by going out of my way to love other people for Christ's sake. I will spend days with my eyes open, looking for the opportunities to serve that I expect God will put in my path. I'll expect to be inconvenienced, because God doesn't care about our self-imposed agendas. In the process, though, I'll also expect to experience a new level of joy in my walk with Christ.
Obedience tends to do that.
It's a marvelous thing when we can go through our day looking for God's footprints. The Bible tells us that God is already working in the lives of those around us. We just need the eyes to see and the courage to act where God is moving.
