PRIDE

Pride comes before a fall-oh so true is that. I am finding myself struggling with some major pride and it is affecting my attitude and others. What an awesome feeling huh? No, not really. My attitude has sucked. I have been rude and have just not wanted to be nice. I have wanted everything to go my way. How selfish...

I am reminded of Jonah in the Bible whom God told to go to Nineveh and he rebelled and went his own path. Well long story short he was too afraid to go where God wanted him to go and ended up in the belly of a whale. Hmmm...he probably should have obeyed God and not let his own ideas keep him from being in God's will.

I want to be used by God everyday and am allowing myself to be so afraid to go there. I have lacked the confidence. I have lacked the motivation and of course have let the pride get in the way too. Joyce Meyers often reminds me in her teaching to "KEEP ON KEEPING ON." Yeah easier said that done right? Well I just need to stand on God and his Word to carry me through. I need to learn to be a humble woman. How can I expect God to use me to do great things if I have pride in my life? I ask God to keep me a humble woman. My plea to God is a cry for help. I am not perfect and am willing to change my ways with the major help of God's GRACE.

Good-bye PRIDE. Psalm 84 "No good thing will God withhold from those who walk with integrity" AMEN. God I need your help. I cannot do this or run this race alone. Help me to be humble. Help me to press on. Help me to choose to have a good attitude and help me to not be selfish.

Whatever your circumstance is don't let pride keep you away from being in God's will like I have. Press on and ask God for His GRACE.
