Symptoms of Pride

I find it so funny when Moses says to Pharaoh when would you like me to ask God to remove all the plagues and Pharaoh's response was, tomorrow. Why is it some times just for pride's sake we will put off freedom in order to prove a point that only cost us more pain. I mean is this not a perfect example of how we all sometimes make the worst decisions in the midst of the worst circumstances just to prove a point that really only proves how stubborn we are, when we could just humble ourselves and save alot of embarrassment and grief later on or even at that very moment in front of alot of people. Pride is a funny thing, the desire to be something or apart of something that is made to look better and greater than it really is or even could be. Everyone has this desire to be noticed and admired but why is it that we take it to the point of self idol ism or false representation. Lying to glorify ourselves and seem greater than all others. Pharaoh in all his "greatness" showed just how dumb we can all be, everyone knows how bad the situation is and knows it could be so much better if we would just change our attitude or even think about someone other than our self for once. Pride, it's ironic how the Bible says this is what comes before the fall and yet we try so hard to stand independent and in front of everyone with all the pride we can muster. Pharaoh taught such a good lesson God's grace and freedom is right there if we will just let God be God and realize that we are not. I've herd it said like this, Until we create our own universe and existence to life in 7 days then we better just let the one who did be in charge. HAHA I just pray that my life will line up to how much I agree with that

Another Chewer

You ever wonder why people spend so much time after they have messed up asking God to forgive them, when they spend so little time with God before they mess up they are not able to withstand the temptation?

This is something God has been speaking to me about in my own life really convicting and helping me change so many things in my life. Making adjustments and corrections in ones life is always good to keep you aligned with God. It's His little way of saying I love you and want us to have a healthy relationship, as His word says (I discipline those I Love).
