Day 16: Proverbs Road Trip (In Napa, CA)

Proverbs 16:2 "You may think you are doing right, but the Lord will judge your reasons."

We started our vacation road triup yesterday, heading to Napa, CA. Getting six Newell's into a fully loaded car is not an easy task...and it wasn't long until we started hitting a few "bumps" in the process. That's when I "lost it".

Yeah, I know what you're thinking..."What! He's a Pastor. He never loses his cool."

Well, you would be right, I don't lose my cool; I simply blow off steam! :-)

That's were today's verse really hits me. You see, I may assume that I'm doing right, but in reality my selfishness can easily get in the way. And when I do "blow off steam" I can easily justify my actions. But the LORD really knows my reasons. He knows my heart.

That's why as soon as I "blew it" I immediately became convicted of my "blow". Appologies are never easy, but thankfully I have a gracious and forgiving LORD...and family.

Today, I'm going to try to focus on my heart.
