Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
"For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain, but Moab will be trodden down as straw is trodden down in the mire. He will spread out his hands in its midst, as a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim; His pride will be brought low despite his strokes. The high-walled fortress he will raze, bringing it low, leveling it to the ground, to the very dust." Isaiah 25:10-12
Isaiah 25:10-12 The sin of pride. Within the fortified wall, the viewpoint is ours. Does it pass the judgement of God? G.K. Chesterton has said, "Pride is the falsification of fact by the introduction of self,". If we are going against the will of God, we are destined for failure. I Am reminded that our actions should be done with love, not love of self but the love that God shares. It isn't a self serving love but a love that serves others to bring them into relationship with The Father. He will root out the things of the heart that interfere with your own deeper relationship.

What is God saying to me: You are listening and seeing things from My viewpoint. Rose colored glasses will get in the way.
Dear Lord God, there is a depth to Your teaching, it isn't just sitting at your feet but through out our entire day. I thank You for this relationship and the perception to see beyond our morning prayer. You are loving Father guiding His children to truth, not their own truth but truth that sets us free. Prayers for a dear friend aging graciously who knows how to live in Your presence. May we learn these same lessons as we grow older and continue to the Wedding Banquet. In Jesus name, Amen.
