Ground Beef and Humble Pie

Sometimes it's hard to fit those bulky packages of ground beef in your freezer. Then they want to roll out at every opportunity, finding it's target every time it falls out of the freezer. Of course, that would be that one little pinky toe that you stubbed 4 times today. It's so frustrating! Shouldn't there be a better way?

There is!

I've found that if I put my two pounds of ground beef in a gallon-size Ziploc bag (Yes, we use two pounds at a time around here) and smoosh it down real good, flattening it out to almost fill the bag, it works a lot better for me. Not only does it make it easy to squeeze out all the air, but it's stackable. It doesn't take as much space up in your freezer and doesn't roll out (BONUS!!!) when you're looking for those last minute frozen veggies that you forgot to microwave while the food was cooking... Ahem... Not that I would do such a thing... Bigger bonus yet, it thaws much quicker!

We are much like that ground beef! We roll around where we ought not, rebelliously falling out of God's will. We puff ourselves up so much with pride that God finds it hard to fit us where we belong.

There is a better way!

If we let God smoosh us and squeeze the air out of our pesky little heads, we'll thrive where He places us. If we stick close to Him, we won't find ourselves rolling out of God's will... or at least not as much. 😊 Best yet, if we allow God to press us down and mold us as He wants, we'll be more pliable, useful, and useable. Time to deflate that little head and find some humility. Let God do as He wishes, and just stay out of His way.
