I was reading Ezekiel 16 and it hit me that I so often forget how everything good was given to me by God. I would take his good gifts and claim them as my own, inflating my pride. The Israelites did the same thing with the beautiful garments and finest foods that God gave them. They took them as their own and gave it away to their idols.
It is so easy for me to get distracted by the worries of this world. I start off trying to work hard for God and sometimes end up satisfied by the praises of others. I hope that as I keep running this race I will remember who I am living for and spend my gifts from God on those things. I definitely need to be more prayerful in how I spend my time! I pray that I would remember that it is not my own, but a gift from God.
