Pride goes before destruction, and
a haughty spirit before stumbling.
Proverbs 16:18
a haughty spirit before stumbling.
Proverbs 16:18
Have you ever considered what drives us and
pushes us to prove to everyone that we are worthy?...Yup you guessed it… PRIDE.
One little word that can do so much damage. I can do it all by myself…. God helps them that help themselves… Just Do
It!!!... By my own strength, power and
ingenuity… We all work in the world with these goals in mind. Believing that as we strive we shall
receive. Not because our Lord is able to
meet all of our needs but that we can do it ourselves. When we believe the nonsense that the world
pours out to us daily that pulls us further and further away from our
Lord. These are blatant lies that the world wraps up in their pretty little
packages and spoon feeds us through the media daily. These are the things that will lead us to believe that we don’t need the Lord’s
righteousness and that we can find true joy in our own achievements. That these things will bring us the ultimate
satisfaction. These are lies from the pit of hell.
These are dead end roads that will lead us away
from the grace of God and living in His fullness. As a Christian I have to remind myself every
single day that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. That it is not of myself but through the Lord
Jesus Christ. I have made the choice to
turn the television off. To just do
it!!! Instead of allowing the world to
pour its garbage into my mind, I will spend the time in the Word of God
releasing all of my worries to the Lord Jesus. I just love sitting quietly in His Presence
and allowing His light to soak into me and drive out the darkness lodged inside
of me. To rejoice in the day that the
Lord has made and to allow Him to free me from all of the fear that is hiding
inside of me. To learn to thank Him in all circumstances. To learn to rest in His Sovereignty and to
leave everything in His capable hands.
Thank you Jesus!!! Have a blessed
day!!!
