Proverbs 16:5
“Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the
Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.”
O what a sad state we are in this life. The sin of pride
often times affected us all. Often times unknowingly and unintentionally our pride
shows it's ugly face in our every day walk. We have become a society of lovers
of pride in self. So much so that we often don't see past the tip of the nose
on our face.
Our Lord speaks much on the pride of man in His Word. And
never in a positive way. Yet we hear the popular motivational speakers preach
how man must love himself first. This way of thinking is totally against what
our Lord taught in His Word.
This is not to say we do not have hope in life. As children
of God, we have a Great Hope. Even while we are here passing through this old
sinful world, we have hope and peace and joy. But only through our Lord and
Savior.
This is not to say we are to be constantly down on ourselves
or depressed with our life here. Fore we have a Great Advocate for our sin. We
must remember who are and whose we are. We are children of the King!!! We
belong to the God of the universe!!! The Creator of all things!!! Praise God He
is our Heavenly Father!!! Praise God for His Son who is our Lord and Savior!!!
Praise God for His Holy Spirit who is our Great Comforter and will abide with
us until He calls us home!!!
We have no right to be proud in ourselves. We have no right
to put ourselves high on a pedestal, bragging to others of our accomplishments.
We must give credit where credit is due. Fore we are nothing and nobody without
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Follow Him today!!! Forsake the false teachings of the world
and follow the Word of God!!! Praise Him for all and seek His face in all that
we do!!!
Praise ye the Lord!!!
