"Make a determination to take no one seriously except God. You may find that the first person you must be the most critical with, as being the greatest fraud you have ever known, is yourself."
I found that statement by Chambers today, to hit me right where I am at this moment.
We have been traveling for a couple of days, and the study and writing just had not been done. When I got up this morning, I had a breakfast meeting with an old friend here in Blacksburg, then returned back to Doug's house. My first thought was that I had better buckle down and get right to Chambers and write the blog, since I was behind a few posts.
Sitting down to write and reflect, I could not do anything. Chambers made sense, but I did not see or feel a thing that God wanted to tell me. So, what could I do? Make up some great spiritual insight and look good to whoever might read it or confess that I am very dull today?
Then I read the above quote in today's devotion and figured that I would at least not be a fraud spiritually to God and to myself. So, today....
Honesty is the best policy.
