"Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor? Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?" -- Romans 11:34-35

We tend to forget that we are not God.  We are not all-knowing, all-powerful, all-present.  We are mortal.  We are the created.  And yet we live sometimes as though we have God all figured out.  Instead of living as creatures that he created in his image, we create God in our own image, and box him up until we need him.  We confuse God with an imaginary genie.  We forget that it is we who owe him, and it is we who should live for him.  Be humble people of God.  Be humble, that you might remember from where you came, and serve the one who gave you breath.

Readings:  2 Chronicles 21:1-23:21; Romans 11:13-36; Psalm 22:1-18; Proverbs 20:7
