Where would we be without our pride? I don’t know, maybe…healthy? Longer life? Better living conditions? A world in better shape? How about a strong desire to truly KNOW God? Couldn’t hurt! -g.w.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
“Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways”

- Unusually Insightful and Literate Commentary on the World Around Us
One man with one son, married one woman with two daughters, and created a Blended Family. .......... “…God who brings the dead back to life, and who creates new things out of nothing.“ Romans 4:17b
I have often thought of the irrational cost, strength, deception of perception and our proud humility holding us away from God. All roads that lead to becoming foundationally humble bump along to the foot of the cross. I am quite sure I can hardly begin to fathom all that happens within us to be “Crucified with Christ” so that “It is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me”. How ironic that pride ends up hurting more than humility.

Very well said, Gary, my friend. Very well said, indeed! “deception of perception.” How deceived I can be by what I THINK I perceive. Lord have mercy! And remember I am dust but for You!
