WHY CAN'T I PLANT CORN AND GET WHEAT?

  Obadiah 1:15 

"For the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head." ESV

 

 

The law of sowing and reaping has been in effect since from eternity. We can see it in the history of God's people in both the Old and New Testaments. Our thoughts, words, and actions that are without repentance and are unforgiven will come back to us in ways we regret. If we are careful and discerning about the seeds we sow, we won't need to worry about the harvest we will reap.

 

Heavenly Father, please help us be aware of our thoughts, words, and actions. Let them be pleasing to You and uplifting to others. Help us to plant good seeds to that we will welcome the harvest we reap and glorify You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

WHAT WE REALLY ARE

 

 

Psalm 130:3,4

 

"If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared." ESV

 

We have a tendency to judge ourselves through our own eyes and in comparing ourselves to others. This works for us because we don't seem like such bad people. But, God sees us through His eyes, in total truth and reality. Quite a different view. If He dealt out to us what we deserve, we would be condemned and hopeless. However, He made a way for us to be forgiven , through Jesus Christ, who took what we really deserve on His own body on the cross. When we grasp this wonderful news, we can never stop honoring and thanking Him for his eternal grace and mercy.

 

Heavenly Father, forgive us for not using the right measuring system to that would reveal the truth about ourselves. Help us to stay in the Light so that we see through Your eyes and always stay on the straight and narrow path that leads us right to You. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

PRIDE AND DECEIT

Some people have a very inflated view of themselves. In fact, these
people are deceived by their pride into thinking others see them in
the same way they see themselves. Their deceptive pride brings them
to places that make them feel they are above the rules and laws of both
God and man. God will allow them to continue in their delusion for a time, but will bring them to reality at some point. We really need to examine ourselves, be real about who we are, and keep ourselves from falling into deceptive pride. Yes, it can happen to any of us. We can fall from any level.

Heavenly Father, we ask that you help us to keep an honest and true view of ourselves, to see ourselves as you see us, so that we will bring glory to you, in Jesus' name.

Read Obadiah 1:3,4

"The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights, you who say to yourself, 'Who can bring me down to the ground?' Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down, declares the Lord." (NIV)

"The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD." (KJV)
