Past vs. Present

Did I take a wrong turn?

Did I step off the path?

Did I slip into a ravine?

Did I fall down a hill?

Did I hide behind a tree in fear?

Did I duck behind a rock in shame?

Did I forget who You are?

Did I forget all You’ve given me?

Did I lose sight of Your mercy and protection?

Did I try to make sense of something that makes no sense?

Did I try to understand that which I cannot comprehend?

Did I try to do it myself?

Did I turn my back on You?

Did I ignore Your Spirit?

Did I lose sight of You?

Did I seek Your face?

Did I seek Your forgiveness?

Did I worship You?

Did I praise You?

Did I thank You?

Did I? Did I? Did I? More importantly, what am I doing right now?

Am I living in the Spirit?

Am I content with who I am, the me You created me to be?

Am I trusting You in all things?

Am I dependent on You and not myself or others?

Am I drawing my strength from You?

Am I guarding my heart and mind?

Am I learning from your discipline and teachings?

Am I sharing my story with others?

Am I living my life to please You and only You?

Am I worshipping, praising and thanking You in all things?

Am I loving You with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my strength, with all my mind? (Luke 10:27)
