Good evening everyone,
Thanks be unto God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ.
God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Prideful and selfish. God resists them. Humble and thankful, they go together. A broken spirit and contrite heart. Help! Hebrews says harden not your heart. The hardness of our hearts is reflected in our attitudes toward others. How quick do we get angry with others, even if they are ‘total idiots’? oh, Lord. Help us. We are all fools compared to your infinite understanding. Help us to shatter our prideful and selfish hearts. No matter what other selfish prideful people do, or don’t do, to us. Help us be patient with them like you are with us. Ephesians 4:32 be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ has forgiven you.
Tenderhearted. Broken. Shattered is what that word means. Father, we can not do this ourselves. We need your help! We receive by faith a broken spirit. We will not resist you with pride because we can’t bear the thought of you resisting us. We repent and ask for your forgiveness. We thank you for forgiving us. Your mercy endures forever!
Healed by His stripes,
Nancy Bass
