Obadiah 1
Arrogance and pride are dangerous sin...click here for more. In this particular moment, I know I need God, yet there are moments when I act otherwise, or I claim to know that my way is better than God's way. To be clear we should be certain that our ways and thoughts are not like God's:
Yet we must come to the point where we consider God's thoughts (the Bible and the Holy Spirit) better than our own.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are a great God and all good and perfect gifts come from You and You alone! I am blessed to Know You and for You to have me as Your adopted son. Thank You Jesus! I am not worth such love as I know I continue to be arrogant and prideful in my life. Please forgive me and help me overcome and turn from such sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their savior. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights, you who say to yourself, ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’ v3

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. Isaiah 55:8

But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. Philippians 3:7-9
