I know I know its been a while. More than a while, its been months. There are no excuses. I'm challenging myself to post more, hopefully I can keep to it.
I was reading the story of Joseph and reflecting on it I realised that somewhere in the far back of my mind I'm afraid that I have I put my fear of man over my fear of God. In Genesis 39, we see Joseph in an impossible position, to either be with his master's wife and sin against God or to do the right thing and be thrown into jail; talk about being between a hard rock and a hard place but Joseph did the right thing and declared that he could not do such against his God.
Sometimes I find myself in situations - not as hard as Joseph - and I chicken out and choose to please man. I find that I love to please man more than God. Then I excuse myself saying 'God understands'. I realise that its so easy for me to please man and displease God.
I'm ashamed to admit that I don't want to step on toes in obedience to God, I'd rather be disobedient to God than displease man.
I try to please God as much as I can but I find myself falling short.
