You saw Joseph as the most powerful man in Egypt (bar the Pharaoh) when he was locked up in jail accused of something he did not do. You called David the King of Israel when he was the youngest child of the family, tending to sheep far away from the power center. You named Peter the Rock, the very solid foundation upon which Jesus' teachings would spread world wide, when he was a fumbling hot-tempered fisherman.

I can't see myself as anything more but the very humble position I am at the marketplace -- at the end of the pecking order. I struggle to see myself as a leader. I struggle to see the money in my account grow; I see instead my mounting burdens. 

Yet, Lord, you call me blessed and loved. Favored and crowned together with you. Help me to see what you see. You have looked into Your plans for me and You said it is good -- I want to hold on to that.
