When God Says...
“He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: But he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.” (Proverbs 28:25 KJV)
This passage speaks of a person who always puts himself ahead and above others. One who says: “Me first; I am the best.” This person is trouble! And in contrast, there is one who puts his trust in the Lord. He is made fat! Yes, he prospers! While a greedy and self-centered personality engages in discord. No rest for him! Hence, to be in a place of accord, greed and pride are to be cast out. Apostle Paul exhorts: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”(Philippians 2:3-4 NIV)
We are to put our trust in the Lord. Humble before Him. Get rid of pride! It is the root of unbelief and causes strife. With our faith in Christ Jesus, life is filled with blessings. In His grace, there is peace even in times of trouble, as He gave this assurance: “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”” (John 16:33 ESV)
And I Say, AMEN!
