December 22 Chp 18 v 27 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS

You rescue the humble ,but you humiliate the proud .

STEP 6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

Proud - having or showing a high or excessively high opinion of oneself or one's importance.

What can I say about this verse .I think it is right to the point and simple ! Humility leads to sobriety , pride leads to constant conflict and self medicating . Why must everyone argue with me , I can control this ,I know how to get clean .Does that sound familiar ,well if it does then you got a problem with pride and God cant help you as long as you think you got this. Nine out of ten times you aint got squat and as long as you think no one can tell you and you got this figured out , you will remain addicted , miserable , and always angry . The steps are the keys to humility and gratitude find those and God will find you .

Isaiah 2:11-12 The proud look of man will be abased And the loftiness of man will be humbled, And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day. For the LORD of hosts will have a day of reckoning Against everyone who is proud and lofty And against everyone who is lifted up, That he may be abased.
