YES, BUT...OH RATS

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil…. - Matthew 6:13

Thank you for leading us not into temptation, but delivering us from ego. - My blinding flash of the obvious this morning.

I'm reminded of the answering machine message of a friend: A call comes in, the machine picks up, and his message is, "It is not them."

I love that sooo much. I love it because it is applicable every single time I am peeved at her, him, you, them...it is not them. "'Be not afraid, it is I,' saith the Lord."

This morning I am right and they are wrong, and their wrongness has unintended consequences which I am going to put into motion, and then they'll be sorry.

Thank you for leading me not into temptation, but delivering me from ego.

Thank you.

PS  Your job's not done, God..."Yes, but" just popped up. :>)
