It was weird in a way because I'm usually the one preaching. So, it's not usual that I am on the other side of the table simply & solely wanting to be the listener & not a pastor or a preacher myself in that moment.
One thing he said that has been ringing in my ears all day was about self pity. He said, when we feel sorry for ourselves about something we tend to take matters into our own hands & strength then. He went on to say that at that moment we are inversely deciding not to live by faith and not to live in the strength of God.
Self pity or feeling sorry for yourself is a denial of God's promises and God's power.
Do you ever hear something that you know you are supposed to hear & you know there is deep meaning in it for you but you feel just on the outskirts of getting exactly what you're supposed to get form it?
That's kind of how I feel today.
In the work of my day I am praying for God to make clear what I think He may be trying to say to me today through the voice of another pastor.
