Making me think, here. Okay, but can’t it be turned around with the realization that EVEN with all of our imperfect motives, and our imperfect feelings, and our imperfect execution, God still uses it all to His glory.

That He can turn all of our crappy ego-filled moments and turn them into gold to achieve His purpose. He works through us and in spite of us.

His power made perfect in our weakness. After all these years of second-guessing myself and my motives, that thought is what keeps me going.

I like to run two-four hours before I go to bed. That way I get to shower, wrap up loose ends before bed, and feel REALLY good when I lay down…and I usually sleep AMAZINGLY at that point because the adrenaline and all that jazz have tapered off.

Good call Los. I think it all gets back to having our own hearts right beforehand.

I wonder if the priests and levites (back in the day) wrestled with this question of motivation? My initial guess would be no, because they would have been so tangibly aware (and possibly afraid) of the presence of God in the place where they served. Is that what we’re missing… the ‘fear’ of God (in a healthy way)?

I go whenever I have the time. Sometimes it’s in the morning, sometimes it’s at night. Sometimes it’s even during a lunch break. Gotta fit it in someplace…

Gotta be in the morning. If I tell myself “I’ll do it tonight,” that means I am not working out today. I have a motto: Always Tuesday, usually Thursday, sometimes Wednesday.

WOW! I can remember when I used to cry after services where it seemed that the congregation didn’t really respond to “me” as I led worship. One day in prayer God reminded me it was my job to lead them to HIM, and He would do the rest. If they rejected anyone, it was him and not me. I was just a vessel.

Great post!
