Again and again I am brought to the place where I must acknowledge that the Lord is God, and I am not. This world attempts to make me believe I am god, yet I cannot save myself. If I came to the gates of heaven without acknowledging Christ, I would not enter. His blood alone purchased my entrance.
There are mornings where I find my heart hard and proud and must repent. What makes my heart hard? James tells us our hearts are hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. Pride is a biggie, it brought Satan down. We could, therefore, imagine it would be one of his major tools against us.
I am sure he is offended by God's judgement, this is also one of his major tools. We are offended when others behave towards us in a way we judge as selfish or sinful. As if we have such a right. We can also be offended when others are spiritual in way that is different to us. Again, who made us the judge?
Today is a new day when I can humble myself and seek the Lord's will over mine. The angels, by their behaviour rebuke me. They wait, listening, for God's commands. May I do likewise.
