About the Book
Do you ever give yourself a good scolding? I shouldn’t have said that. I shouldn’t have done that. I didn’t follow through. I can’t do anything right. I can’t measure up. I’m not good enough. I’m a failure. Or maybe you scold yourself for what you should have said or should have done but didn’t.
Self-evaluation can be a good thing to make positive changes, but if we aren’t careful, we can become our own worst enemy. We can be critical of others, trying to meet a personal standard and expectation that you or they can never measure up to. There is a much higher standard to pursue than measuring up to your personal standard, which you most likely will never meet. This Bible study will point you toward pursuing and practicing how to be more than “good enough.”
After the apostle Paul’s radical transformation from Saul, the hater and persecutor of Christians, he wrote thirteen of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament. But even after his transformation, he knew he could never measure up on his own. He needed help.
Can you identify with Paul? I am confounded by how Paul described his actions and—gulp, mine. What a dilemma! Not to be too critical of myself, I’ll bring you alongside me because I don’t believe I am fighting this battle alone. This is a universal problem.
