HELP...

i recently did a devotion on HELP
so i thought i would share it with you guys

most people i know struggle with Helping Others;
but i some how struggle with accepting the Help
God sends my way; when i need it...

(2Chronicles 32: 24-33)

You can have all the "things" in the world
but one day you may need a helping hand.
in this story Hezekiah was to Proud to except
the help God sent to him. In this case i am Hezekiah
i was so use to being the Helper; that when i needed
the Help i was to Proud to admit it, except it, and
rest in Gods word; knowing that he would provide and
Help me. it says in (James 4:6; God opposes the Proud
but gives Grace to the Humble)
Oppose- to act against or provide resistance to (verb)
Grace- the freely given, unmerited favor and Love of God
Humble- "NOT Proud" or Arrogant

i was so caught up in that "I'm independent" mindset
and i don't need anyone's Help.
that i allowed Pride to consume my actions.

i remember reading a quote from C.S. Lewis and one thing
that stuck out to me was "PRIDE leads to every other vice;
it is the complete ANTI-GOD state of mind"
we can walk around saying we Love God. but with even
a SPEC of Pride in our hearts. we are Totally 100%
AGAINST GOD !!
