Pride and Worry
Posted in The Historical Faith and tagged with Control, Pride, Self-sufficiency, Worry on April 19, 2007To all my friends: I haven’t forgotten you. This semester has been rough, and I’ve been thrown off my schedule. Forgive me for not keeping in contact like I should. I really do love you all and want to continue keeping contact with you. I long for heaven when our fellowship with the Lord and with one another will be sweet and uninterrupted!
I pride myself on having everything together. I love it when people compliment me on my organization and discipline. Notice the sin in this: pride, thinking I am self-caused and self-sufficient. God has been humbling me and making me realize that I need Him more and more. I cannot do this alone. I need to rely on God for strength, courage, and rest.
I know most of you are struggling at this time of year as well. Remember that God will never give you more than you can handle, at least not more than you can handle with His help. Seek Him in everything you do.
The Lord Jesus said: “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” – Matthew 6:33-34 NASU
