EQ- Emotional Quotient



I was singing a song this morning (10,000 Reasons) in church with these two lines in it:

"Bless the Lord oh my soul
Worhip his holy name."

I sometimes look at myself and others and think how emotionally driven I am and they are. I like this - I don't like that, I won't do that because I don't want to. My emotions can rule me! How do I feel as I walk through the church doors can determine how I worship God. Is that the correct stance to take; is worship of God actually anything to do with the way I feel. The answer is No! God is worthy of my worship, I will spend eternity worshiping in heaven. So I better get myself sorted out.

One of the latest trends is to talk about my EQ (Emotional Quotient) my level of emotional capacity as opposed to my IQ or intellectual capacity. I think that we should look hard at our EQ and feel the feelings and then do the right thing. The question is not  how I feel, but what is required and is this the right decision?

Today I chose to do the right thing.

I took the road less travelled and it made all the difference to my day.

Happy Birthday to my friend Michelle!!!
