The LORD tears down the house of the proud, but he sets the widow’s boundary stones in place. 26 The LORD detests the thoughts of the wicked, but gracious words are pure in his sight. 27 The greedy bring ruin to their households, but the one who hates bribes will live.  28 The heart of the righteous weighs its answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil.  29 The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.  30 Light in a messenger’s eyes brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.  31 Whoever heeds life-giving correction will be at home among the wise.  32 Those who disregard discipline despise themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding.  33 Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the LORD, and humility comes before honor.

9/08            Romans 11:18-20

do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble.

CAREFUL

For by grace are you saved and not of yourself.  Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for your sin.  He is Lord.  He saved you.

HEART

The Lord searches the heart of a person.  Turn to Jesus and ask Him to cleanse your heart.  Focus on Jesus, spend time in God’s Word and pray.  HE will cleanse your heart.

Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.  3 He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.

THE LORD
The Lord leads you.  You have to be willing to be led.  Bend your knee to Jesus, every day begin with Him and stay with him until you go to bed that night.  Every day with Jesus is better than the day before.
