Morning:
This is what Satan would like me to believe about pride:
that it is a sin that will hound so hard after me that I’ll never be able to
focus on loving people. But that’s
not true. By the power of the
gospel I am free; I don’t need to worry or think I can’t love because of the
temptation. Instead of being
afraid of pride, I can be stoked on loving others. Love is the lens that makes us realize how wrong and
detrimental pride is.
I don’t have to live a life of guilt and depression over my
sin. I have been brought to live
because God died painfully for me! For this, I ought to live a life of
passionate thankfulness and joy. The
king of Heaven loves me, I will live out of that truth.
Psalm 119—David is overjoyed at the Lord’s commands because
he has found what it is to love, and that changes everything in someone’s
life.
Come and see what God
has
Done;
He is awesome in his
deeds toward the children
Of man.
Psalm 66:6
Come and hear, all
you
Who fear God
And I will tell what
he
Has done for my
Soul.
Psalm 66:16
I need to tell the world of God’s goodness!
