No Room For Him…

I met with a business man this morning who shared with me how his business took a hit this summer and now the banks are putting pressure on him.

He told me that he does not have the energy to make things happen like did when he was younger. My heart really goes out to my friend and I am praying for him.

Is it possible that the Achilles Heal of our western culture is that we are always trying to perform, accomplish and achieve.

We believe if we just throw enough energy at something we can make it happen.
As Christians living in this culture we transfer this mindset to faith.

My concern is that when self takes itself that seriously there is no room for God.
Could it be that God puts us in these positions of powerlessness so we learn to look up and trust Him?
