"Immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, 'Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.' And he began to weep." -Mark 14:72 (NASB)
There are times when we focus on ourselves and let our egos drive what we say and do. I recently heard someone comment that ego can mean "edging God out." When we think it is all about us or that we are in control alone, we can lose sight of God's role in our lives!
We may still have times in our lives when we focus on ourselves or think we can handle things on our own without anyone else. We may not always realize when we let our ego take over and drive our thoughts and actions. During these times, we may also experience the "roosters" that remind us we need God! When the "roosters" or reminders of our ego appear in our lives, we need to put our ego aside, repent, and seek God's will. We need to leave our egos behind and follow God's plan for our lives!
When the rooster reminds you about your ego, remember to seek God's will for your life and leave your ego behind!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and reminding me when my ego gets in the way. Help me to recognize Your reminders to put my ego aside and follow You! Through Jesus I pray, amen.
