When I am working on a project such as this 90 day book I can get overly focused to the point where I quickly forget that I cannot do this on my own. It is only with God’s Strength from my surrendering this incessant desire to do this on my own, that I make it through the day. My flesh wants to be enough and too much of the time I am engulfed with the mind of my flesh. This is why starting my day aligning myself with God and then doing this again in the middle of the afternoon becomes intensely important.

I am reading about Solomon in my bible reading and about to wrap it up about him. He was such an amazing man, chosen by God to lead His people and given such wisdom that mankind still quotes his wisdom from scripture all the time. Yet, today’s reading tells that Solomon was led astray in his older years by his lust for foreign wives and beginning to serve their gods as well as his own God. As I read this I was sickened. No matter who we are or when we lived, the desires of the flesh have to be fought and surrendered. It would be nice if surrendering once and for all were possible, but that is not the case. Each and every day and during the day, this humbling surrender must take place.

I want God at the center of my life so whatever I need to do I will keep working on and surrendering. To God be the Glory!
