I
can't write much today but please keep praying for Rafaela and her
husband. She didn't come to church this week and I`m worried. Thank you
so much for everything and the prayers.
Today
I would like to write a little bit about pride. Something that I think
everyone struggles with on different levels. When Pride has a hold on
our hearts, we lose our independence of the world and deliver our
freedoms to the bondage of men`s judgement. The world shouts louder than
the whisperings of the Holy Ghost. the reasoning of men over rides the
revelations of God, and the proud let go of the iron rod. Pride is a sin
that can readily be seen in others but is rarely admitted in ourselves.
Most of us consider pride to be a sin of those on the top, such as the
rich and the learned, looking down at the rest of us. There is, however,
a far more common ailment among us, and that is pride from the bottom
looking up. It is manifest in so many ways, such as faultfinding,
gossiping, backbiting, murmuring, living beyond our means, envying,
coveting, withholding gratitude and praise that might lift another and
being unforgiving and jealous.
