As I was reading scripture late into the night on Friday I read some chapters and verses in Proverbs, Colossians, Peter, and Romans, (only to feel as though I hadn't found what I was supposed to share). I prayed for The Lord to show me, and guide me with what to say. I woke Saturday still feeling at odds, and continued to search. Finally I read the verse of the day, (one of which I had read the night before feeling hesitant). When I read it I believe he wanted me to share it's meaning to me in my reflection. When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom. Proverbs 11:2 ESV http://bible.com/59/pro.11.2.ESV I felt as though He was telling me to get out of the way and hear Him saying it's not about you it's about Him. Stop being prideful and give Him the glory and honor, worship him purely and focus on His Word. Be humble in His presence and acknowledge His wisdom for our lives. So in closing open your hearts and minds to hear Him speak to you to remove our pride, and focus our worship to Him Locked Shields and C# prayed us out.
