Title: “It’s All About Me”

(S) cripture:
Isaiah 47:10 (NASB) “You felt secure in your wickedness and said, ‘No one sees me,’ Your wisdom and your knowledge, they have deluded you; For you have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one besides me.’

    1 Peter 5:8 (NASB) Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

(O) bservation:
Isaiah warns us about the “It’s All About Me” lifestyle. It is faulty wisdom and knowledge that leads to a “me only” outlook. That kind of outlook and behavior will leave us alone and on our own. Peter tells us to be alert and self-controlled watching out for the devil who is like a lion on the prowl. Lions attack the weak, sick, alone, or unaware. The “me only” person is all of these and a perfect and easy target for the lion.

(A) pplication:
Too often I focus only on myself. Now there is nothing wrong with self-care. If though I fall into the “It’s all about me” syndrome then I am in serious peril for attack from the evil one. Today I will focus on the Lord and living as he instructs and intends. I want to be alert and living a holy life (1 Peter 1:13), It’s is not about me but is about the Lord.

(P) rayer:
Lord help me keep my focus on you today. Let me walk with you and do what you have instructed me to do in your Word. Amen
