“You’re cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way. And do you suppose God doesn’t care? The proverb has it that “he’s a fiercely jealous lover.” And what he gives in love is far better than anything else you’ll find. It’s common knowledge that “God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble.” -James 4:4-6 The Message

A Time to Think… 
“Pride must die in you, or nothing of heaven can live in you.” -Andrew Murray-South African writer, teacher, Christian pastor

A Time to Act…
When you awake today, take time with God and pray. Ask God to help you choose humility throughout your day. Remind yourself to acknowledge God in all your successes and seeking ways to serve others selflessly. It is God that helps you do this–you cannot do it on your own.

A Time to Pray…
O Lord, help me to walk humbly before You and others, recognizing that all I have is from You. Holy Spirit, help me to squash my pride before I fall. Please renew a right spirit in my heart, mind, body and soul so I can share the love, grace and mercy to those in need. AMEN.
