“Don’t be so naive and self-confident. You’re not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence; it’s useless. Cultivate God-confidence.”
1 Corinthians 10:12 MSG
Good Morning Jesus!
We’re well into the holidays now and I am enjoying Your presence more than I ever have before. I know You are walking with me and guiding my feet. I know You are the light in my heart and I praise You for being my LORD.
Jesus, as the days go on, please help me. I don’t want to place myself in the way of temptation. I know You are asking me to not eat as much this year, spend less and not be going every where. I’m really trying to follow Your choices, LORD, but it’s really hard right now. Everyone wants to shower me with sweets. My shopping list is getting longer instead of shorter. The demands on my time are getting more persistent. I need You to help me!
Here I thought I was being confident in You but I realize it’s only been confidence in myself. Your Word this morning reminded me I am not above temptation and I can’t face it alone.
Today, when temptations of the holidays come, help me to look to You. You are so much greater and stronger than what I can face in this world. Help me to remember that and to build on my God-confidence!
Love You LORD!
Amen
With The Savior
