Today's Verse - Proverbs 21:4 (KJV)

An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

—Proverbs 21:4 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

"We're number one!" is the cry today. However, the scripture above tells us that it is the wicked who light their own way with their haughty eyes and proud heart. In contrast, God lights the way for his people with his word (Scripture) and with his Word (Jesus), the wicked light their own way with their haughty eyes and proud heart. But arrogance, pride, "uppity-ness" — or whatever name you want to call it — is called sin by God. God is number one and all the other numbers are important only because of him. It's just that simple.

My Prayer...​

Holy and righteous Father, help me place you and your character in the place of most importance in my heart, my life decisions, and in my influence. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Words of Wisdom: Stay prayerful, be clear-headed, be wide awake, and keep your focus on God. Watch and pray! Because your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

 

[The Encourager]

Words of Wisdom: Stay prayerful, be clear-headed, be wide awake, and keep your focus on God. Watch and pray! Trust God. Obey God’s Word and Will for your life. Because your adversary, the devil, the enemy of your soul, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). Your name is on his list. But greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4).
