00:00:01 --> 00:00:06 What a disagreement and a prayer taught me about myself and the

00:00:08 --> 00:00:08 Tune in.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:12 Hello,

00:00:24 --> 00:00:28 Momo 634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:44 --> 00:00:48 Thank you for the tremendous response to yesterday's interview

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49 with the Christian Chronicle,

00:00:50 --> 00:00:54 making it already one of the top episodes of the year thus far.

00:00:55 --> 00:01:00 I've retooled the episode page to embed the full interview there,

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02 and I added the transcript.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06 I'm linking it all below this episode.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:12 Also, a hearty welcome to all of our new subscribers from the broadcast.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14 Of course,

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16 when things are going well,

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18 Satan wants to send a candy gram,

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22 like the old Saturday Night Live Chevy Chase skit.

00:01:23 --> 00:01:27 I had a disagreement with one of my grown children.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:28 Normally,

00:01:28 --> 00:01:31 I would just say a disagreement with someone,

00:01:32 --> 00:01:35 but the relationship is germane to the lesson learned.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39 I was pretty head up, to be sure.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42 So I took it to God in prayer.

00:01:42 --> 00:01:46 You know, the whole be angry but do not sin thing.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48 As I've mentioned before,

00:01:49 --> 00:01:52 I'm one of those running commentary kind of prayers.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56 So I was just pouring it out.

00:01:57 --> 00:01:58 Ungrateful.

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59 After everything I've done for...

00:02:02 --> 00:02:07 That's as far as I got before the irony struck me so hard that

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09 I had to stop and laugh.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13 I put my hand up and said, Okay, I got it.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14 You got me.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:20 I had my own 2 Samuel 12 moment where the prophet Nathan told

00:02:20 --> 00:02:23 David he was the guilty one.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:28 How many times have I crossed a line with God,

00:02:29 --> 00:02:33 bucking against the consequences of my own goofy actions,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:37 not wanting to accept that I'm in the wrong,

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39 not appreciating

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40 his blessings,

00:02:41 --> 00:02:47 continuing to ask for more and more after everything he has

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49 given me at great cost

00:02:49 --> 00:02:54 to himself in the form of the life of his son for my sins.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:59 Yes, I got the memo loud and clear.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:06 As today's Momoism says, grown yet groaning.

00:03:07 --> 00:03:14 We may be grown-ups, but we still have growing pains and groaning pains.

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17 And just to set the record straight,

00:03:18 --> 00:03:21 the disagreement with my household grown-up got cleaned up too.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25 Satan may have tried to trip me up,

00:03:26 --> 00:03:26 but God,

00:03:27 --> 00:03:31 who Romans 8 tells us works everything out for our good,

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34 had an unforgettable lesson in store for me,

00:03:35 --> 00:03:39 and I am truly thankful he cares enough to discipline me.

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43 What's a memorable lesson you've been given?

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46 Chime in below.
