Good morning, Jesus.
Lord, You see what an invincible super-Christian I am. Spotting the devil’s schemes is easy. “Is that all you got, devil?” I taunt. “I’m on to you, big boy!” Being so spiritually in-tune sets me apart from other believers who struggle with issues like I used to. I can’t see the Holy Spirit shaking His head because my pride blocks the His warnings about my pride.
But the devil’s attacks aren’t always obvious. It’s obvious when he attacks from the front, but he slips in through my backdoor that my pride has left wide open. He attacks with subtle temptations: a little compromise here, a little embellishment there, a little lack of self-control, and WHA-LA! Before I realize what’s going on, I’m derailed in my walk with You, Jesus. So much for me “being on to you, big boy.” Lord, forgive my foolish pride. This truth could not be more plain: without You, Lord Jesus, I’m just a sitting duck. Help me bury my pride and lean totally on Your power, Lord.
In Your power, Jesus. Amen.
THANKFUL
