"Or do you suppose that the scripture speaks without meaning when it says, "The spirit that he has made to dwell in us tends toward jealousy"? But he bestows a greater grace; therefore, it says: "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."" James 4:5-6
I am challenged this morning, I know what I need to do but the spirit needs fortified for it was up to me the path of least resistance would be the way. Do I think only of self or do I think of Christ, what does He want. Therefore I will submit my will to His and trust in Him to guide my steps today. "So then, my beloved, obedient as you have always been, not only when I am present but all the more now when I am absent, work out your salvation with fear and trembling." Philippians 2:12. We work out our salvation everyday and we can not rest thinking we have arrived, this is pride speaking. Seek His grace and humble yourself before God.
Dear Heavenly Father, I love You more than anything else, I seek You this morning to give the grace and for me to receive it. I thank You for these opportunities that challenge and will not let me rest. I thank You for Your beauty that surrounds me this morning. I pray for the humility to follow Your direction and I promise I will wait upon You, lead the way Lord. I look forward to the day with anticipation, open the door for You to enter. I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, pray for us.
