Humility

01/12/2019

Day 1
Isaiah 57 v 14-21; Matthew 23 v 1-12; Luke 18 v 9-4

Peace, healing and restoration come to those who humble themselves before the Lord and in turn he will exalt them.  Today, I beat on my chest and say “Dear God, be merciful to me, the sinner”!  I kneel at your feet, not worthy, yet justified through your blood.  May we not even point to the “scribes and the pharisees”, for the judgement is not yours and their sin simply has another name.  Please forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.  May you be glorified forever and ever, AMEN

Day 2
Deutoronomy 8 v 1-20; 1 Peter 5 v 2-6

Deut 8 v 11-14

“Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments and His ordinances and His statutes which I am commanding you today………… 14 then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God who brought you out or the house of slavery.”

Guard your hearts with the breastplate of righteousness brothers, so that we do not become proud and boast about our so called (wordly) achievements, to gain peoples’ favour, and God will grant us His grace (1 Pet 5 v 5). 

Have a blessed Monday
