When I’m impatient,

I never believe in Jesus’ sovereignty.  Or when I’m fearful.  Or discouraged.  I don’t believe it’s UP TO HIM.  It’s up to ME.  Like the Pharisees, I live in denial of how much I have to lose, by giving up everything in my life to follow Him, especially the righteousness/reputation/somebodiness I’ve worked so hard to achieve.  I’m unwilling to be a failure/loser/nobody in any area of my life.  So I’m impatient, competitive, critical.  Dave vs everyone.  I just haven’t seen it so clearly in the past.  Sobering.

UNLIKE the Pharisees, I confess Jesus as Sovereign, as Lord, but in daily life, I’m just like them.  The lord of my life is ME.
