God will bring you down a peg.


Proverbs 8: 13 (AMP)
“The [reverent] fear and worshipful awe of the LORD includes the hatred of evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way, and the perverted mouth, I hate.”


Take it from me, don't think you can judge people and get away with it. God will bring you down a peg. The funny thing is I never really seem to learn.

God hates people who are filled with pride and are arrogant. Here are two life experiences I can share with you today on being arrogant and prideful. I was sitting in church and I had the cheek to think badly of an anointed man from God. I looked at him while he was praying and thought to myself, you hypocrite.

Nothing happened to me at that stage but a week later, I had a bleeding stomach and wouldn't go and see a doctor. I walked with the bleeding stomach for probably 4 weeks. I realized my mistake and confessed my sin before God asking Him for His forgiveness. I set the anointed man of God free and repented. I was healed. No jokes.

In the other event, I said to someone "I am blessed and you aren't" oh my goodness what a terrible mistake. God absolutely hates a haughty person and I was so full of myself you won't believe. I was sick for a long time again.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I humbly pray Lord God, please forgive me I do forget that You are Holy and that You are all knowing. I also forget that You hate arrogance and people full of pride. I made a mistake in thinking I am all that and more. I have failed You and I have fallen on my face again. Humbly I ask You to forgive me. In the Holy Name of the Lord Jesus Christ Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
