Natural Flesh

"Put Your light in my eyes and let me see, that my own little world is not about me." -Matthew West

Lord, I can't even say how true this is.

I am selfish. And natural devotion is trying to tie me to you but, just as Oswald Chambers said, it will never do anything more than let you down. I need a supernatural devotion to you, Lord. And I need to wait until you move, God, because I"m trying to move my little chess pieces all by myself against the world and I keep getting stuck and frustrated. Lord, give me the patience to wait until you move. Or, if you are waiting for me to stop being lazy, then motivate me to seek things within the blessing of your will. Whatever the case may be, let me not stray from your pleasing and perfect will. I'm looking for the sweet, small voice behind me to say "this is the way, walk in it."
