Life

I had the intention of leaving to work on time this morning, but I left late because the freezing rain last night froze my door shut, and windows required heavy scraping. I was able to get in the car after some prying, and scraped a "hole" big enough to see ahead of me through the windshield (not best practice). After asking the Lord for help in getting to work on time, I arrived safely, and with a minute to spare :) Praise God!

its not about me. the less you are in the Word, the less you know. it brings a reality check. self pity is pride also. bc at the center of your pity, is you. with pride comes shame, hard heart, destruction, God will resist you. if you want to be used by God, humility is the key. "God, please give me Your grace to get over myself." Remind yourself how God sees pride. Meditate how pride is affecting your life. Hate and detest pride. Keep the Bible open. Keep the Scriptures in front of your eyes. One thing you can do to fight pride is deny your flesh. Don't do what your flesh desires. You can humble yourself in fasting. Spend more time with God, bc you will become more like the ones you spend time with.

theres a battle. like a military operation, take control of the operation. we are to hold the ground until He comes. at our employer. at our friends. in all situations. dont be timid. speak, confess over your situation. speak the Word, the scripture over your situauin and reapeat it over you. just speak the Word. speak over your employment situation, etc. the gifts of ministry, teaching, preaching exhortation, etc, each has a gift. we were just all commanded to  speak the gospel to all the parts of the world. we may not all have been called to teach, preach, etc.
