Good morning! How are we faithing? You are hurt. You feel crapped on. You think you have been done wrong. Seems like whatever you do, it's wrong. The pity party begins and it begats a "why me" attitude. Then you feel righteous indignation because these things have happened. Then you decide,"screw you guys, I'm getting mine". Before you know it you are looking and fondling your stuff so much you run slam into more because that mirror you hold in front of you blocks your view. This is vanity. This is selfishness. This is the devils playground. Those things probably did happen but so what? Put your big boy pants on and press on looking at God and for God. As long as your view is blocked by you, you will lather, rinse, repeat. I'm sorry you are hurt. I'll even pray for and with you, cry with you, grieve with you but I will not let hurt overcome or define you....or me. This is sometimes very hard to hear but it is truth and while you are not in that place, cement this in your heart so when those things happen you are an overcomer and not a victim of your own vanity.
Psalms 119:37
Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.
KJV
Proverbs 4:25-27
Let your eyes look directly ahead,
And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you.
Watch the path of your feet,
And all your ways will be established.
Do not turn to the right nor to the left;
Turn your foot from evil.
NAS
1 John 2:16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.
NAS
Isaiah 33:15-16
He who walks righteously, and speaks with sincerity,
He who rejects unjust gain,
And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe;
He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed,
And shuts his eyes from looking upon evil;
He will dwell on the heights;
His refuge will be the impregnable rock;
His bread will be given him;
His water will be sure.
NAS
Remember Aaron Watts...remember Abby's Grandma...remember Kellynn and Ty as they travel...
