So much to learn!!

I read the next part in my Beth Moore bible study this morning. It was about not letting false prophets in and how we are to be not trying to win the approval of men but of God. The key to avoiding falling for any false prophets is to not be ingnorant. Get in your bible and read, read, read. The more you are soaking up the "truth" the less likely you will be prey to any evil trying to turn you towards something else or the more subtle ones that will try to plant seeds of doubt. Know the truth! The last part has had me wondering all morning. From Galatians 1:10 Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ. Okay, this is a major motivation check. Are the things I do motivated to serve God or to please my friends, family, co-workers? I know that I do like the attention I get when I am within a group of people and I don't feel a part of it or connected if I am not the center of attention. Wow, I am going to have to let that go. It's not about ME!!! How do I get that through my thick skull! At this point, I think I just have to try everything I can to keep my focus on the Lord and pray, pray, pray. I am sure with time and patience God will get through my thick skull and help me to be more like Christ. My lunch break is over but I have more to write. I read Transformed by Trouble in A Purpose Driven Life. Wow, I have re-read that chapter like 4 times already. It has got some serious stuff in there. I will be back tomorrow and get with you more on this chapter. Until tomorrow...
