You Should Decrease In Order For God To Increase

 Good Morning, 

A busy day is ahead of me and I will start it off with prayer and a hot cup of Door County Heavenly Caramel Coffee. It is time to write. 

A habit that many people have adopted is to trust more in themselves than to trust in God. They actually promote themselves into their own little god. They minimize in their minds God's ability, power, strength, love, compassion and the fact that He created all things including us. God becomes smaller and smaller in their lives. 

Micah 5:13 And I will cut off your carved images, and your pillars from among you, and you shall bow down no more to the work of your hands. 

When we take stock of our own abilities, strength, power, love and compassion we find that we really don't match up to God at all. He forgives when we can't. He can create life, planets, humans, all while making the sun rise and set. He created gravity and can command legions of angels to do His bidding. Again we fall short in all reality except in that space we call our mind. We are not God and when we start climbing His throne, we make the mistake of becoming our own little idol.

Take your place among the family of God and admit to yourself that Dad knows best and lose your ego trip. 

Start the week off right and follow the One who never fails.

Marty
