Pride Kills

Where do I even start? Pride...the root of all my sin. The choosing of my desires over the desires of my Lord. I am continually reminded of just how long suffering our heavenly father must be to love us/me unconditionally! Whether it be my control issues or my arrogance of believing that the Lord needs me as opposed to him merely choosing to use such an unworthy vessel, I am continually humbled as His holy spirit shows me my sin. The past few months have been extremely busy to say the least, but I am never too busy to be still before the Lord. Oh, how easy it is to fall into such a quandary. We begin to replace our quiet time with our teaching preparation and our time in prayer to the Lord grows shorter and colder. Father, may you guard me from subtly slipping into a life that is complacent. I must daily submit before I can live a life that is pleasing to Him! Thank you Lord for your work on my behalf! Over the next few months, things will slow down a bit and I am thankful for this. Our homeless outreach is on November 13 and I pray specifically that our labors are fully devoted toward sharing Christ. May You receive the glory! Until next time, Sola De Gloria!
