I was just talking to Dave, my client at work, about how he told me when I first started there it seemed as if I didn\u2019t want to be here.  When I look back he was right.  I use to have a more prestige\u2019s job and I had a hard time humbling myself to do my current job.  When he told me I went to the Word and started to say Philippians, work as you are working for the Lord and not for man.\u201d  God gave me this job and I was to humble myself and do it for God\u2019s glory.  As time has gone by I see how God has used me there to help serve others and to do outreaches using the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Application: I need to continue to humble myself each day.  My ego is as big as my stomach and I need to stop feeding it.  I need to realize everything I have including my abilities and talents are all from God and apart from Him I can do nothing.  I\u2019m a servant to my King and He commands me to be a servant to others and there is no room for pride in the role of a servant.  Any pride should be that I am a child of the King and that is something others should know about me.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer:  My Lord and my Master.  Humble your servant before you and command me in the things you desire of me.  Give me a heart for others and not my own ego.  May others see me as a servant to you and that you would rid me of this selfish pride.  May I serve you always.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture 2 Chron 12:12 When he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, so as not to destroy him completely; and things also went well in Judah.
