Day 29:: Bowing

Soundtrack: "You Are All I Need" by Bethany Dillon

I feel like Samuel sometimes, frustrated by others who don't trust God's Truth and try to convince or lead people elsewhere. But just as quickly, I can become the Israelites - wanting to blend in and be like everyone else. I know God gives us differences as His children for a reason; we weren't meant to "blend in. When I tried to fill in the "I want to be like _________" blank, I didn't have anything specific to write down at first. I don't have a specific role model in my life right now (even when I have longed for one), but I finally realized I could easily fill it in with "the world." How often do I want to have the things the world has, or look like the world, or live like the world? How often have I wanted to let the world rule my life instead of allowing God to be my King? It sounds so silly, but here it is again...the eternal struggle of TRUST.

Lord, help me embrace you as my King all of the time and live confidently as you have created me to live.
