It Is Significant To See Righteousness And Unrighteousness
Faithfulness And Faithlessness
And
Pride And Humility
So Starkly Compared And Contrasted!
Beloved,
We Are To Live By Faith
While Lovingly Humbling Ourselves Before The Lord Christ
Who Will Lift Us Up In His Day Of Appointment
Just As He Lifted Up Jacob, Joseph, Job, And Moses!
We Are Not To Lift Up Ourselves
In Pride And With Arrogance Like Lucifer:
It Didn't Work Out For Him
And
It Will Not Work Out For Us!
We Love To Say With The Worldly-Wise That
Man Appoints And God Disappoints
But
If We Look Closer
We Will Clearly See What Manner Of Defeat, Disaster
Destruction, And Deviltry Exists
When Man Appoints Man
And
Man Anoints Self!
The Humble, Faithful, Servant Of God
Is
Always A Blessing To Mankind!
Pride Is Poison
And
Self-Aggrandizement Is Terminal Disease
And
Neither Has A Place In The Heart Of
The Committed-To- Christ Christian!
Dear Ones,
The Only Lifting Up We Should Be Doing
Is
Lifting Up Our Souls To The Lord
Lifting Up Our Hands In Worship And Praise
Lifting Up Our Brethren
And
Lifting Up Our Bibles And Our Spoons
As They Convey To Our Bodies
Our Very Necessary Daily Food!
Pride Decimates!
Faith Elevates
And
Humility Opens The Flood-Gates Of Blessing!
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father,
Please Help Us Today
To Humble Ourselves Before You On Earth
Your Footstool
So That You Will Lift Us Up To Heaven
Your Throne
On The Glad Day That You Have Set!
Amen!!!
