The pecking order

Thoughts after home group on friday evening -

1) we are so fixated with being first in the pecking order that - having more x so that we can feel good about ourselves such that we forget:

a) That God has called us to manifest who He is in this world - giving us the ultimate sense of identity, purpose and dignity that we are too shortsighted to see

b) God has called us to know more of Him Jer 9:24

"But let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD"

Forever saving us from the curse of comparisons - we are not called to look behind at our accomplishments, to look beside at others but to plungeheadlong deeper into Him.

"that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the LORD."
