Exaulting, defending and imposing our own will...
Our most intoxicating Spiritual Deception.
Will we follow in Christ's steps of (humble) obedience...
or expect Him to follow us in our selfrighteousness and zeal?
Pause and Consider...
(Who) expressed the highest religious aspiration?
I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Isaih 14: 13b-14
(Answer)
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:
Isaih 14:12-13a
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Isaih 14:15
Not a pretense of better living through higher thoughts or actions.. Not a contrived morality or confidence in my own imagined righteousness.. But an admission of being lost!.. Of being sought out, found and forgiven!.. Not an escape from pain or hardship, but an awareness that God loves and believes in me more than I could ever believe in Him. That He has the power to keep me and accomplish His will for me in this life and the next. www.jackandcarlayoutube & www.morethanmanagement.life
