I Will.

                                                                                 I Will.


Pride and Humility.


For thou hast said in thine heart (Mind), “I Will” ascend into heaven, “I Will” exalt “My Throne” (my will, my way) above the stars of God: “I Will” sit also upon the mount of congregation, in the sides of the north: “I Will” ascend above the heights of the clouds; “I Will” be like the most High.  Yet thou shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.  (Isaiah 14:13-15)


God Lifts the Humble and God Humbles the Pride-Filled!


Our Daily Nugget

is showing us our “Destiny” when we are infected with the “Demon of I Will”.  For us to determine what “I Will Do” is evidence that we are not considering what God’s Will Is, but only what our will is.  This is exactly what Satan did.  God is telling us that when we “lift ourselves up”; that He will “bring ourselves down”, even down to hell.  The Demon of Pride Inflicts a Horrible Curse on a person.   


Wisdom says to us, I Can Do No Good Thing On My Own;

Pride says, “I Will because, I Can”.


Humble - Recognizing one’s total dependence on God and actively prioritizing others.  It is a posture of the heart (mind) characterized by the “absence of pride and self exaltation”.  As C. S. Lewis famously summarized, true humility isn’t thinking less of yourself, it is “Thinking Of Yourself Less”.


Pride-Filled - An attitude (thinking) of the heart (mind) that elevates self-importance, independence, and personal achievements above God’s authority. 


The Old Creature says, I Can Do What I Want.  

The New Creature says, I Can’t.

What do you say?


To accept Jesus as Lord and Savior is a choice to die to self and to live for Jesus, “Based On The Bible”.  We cash in our will, for God’s Will and His Salvation.  We no longer fight our battles, we Trust the Lord to fight our battles.  Jesus instructs us to “Call on Him when Trouble Comes”, “He Will Save Us and We Will Praise Him’.  Be wise, humble yourself before the Lord has to do it.  


The Rod of Correction is used on the Pride-Filled Today, like it was used on Satan.  

Will you or God, humble you?
