Contemplative Bible Reading

Romans 10:3 (New Living Translation)

For they don’t understand God’s way of making people right with himself. Refusing to accept God’s way, they cling to their own way of getting right with God by trying to keep the law.

God has a way of making people right with God. Some of us have our way of making us right with God.

Ego? Maybe. We just have to be smart enough to create something of our own instead of using something provided to us.

Rebellious? Maybe. I don’t like your way. I have my own way.

Self-centered? Maybe. I have this under control. I have my way. I keep saying “I” and “me” and “my” instead of “God.”

I like to be God. I like to “call the shots” or say “what’s what” or some silly expression like those. Poor pathetic me. When will I realize once and for all that God is God and I am not? At least I am not alone as this seems to have been happening for a few thousand years. Please God, help me in my unbelief.
