Proverbs 11:2- "Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom".
This is my Colton's verse this week from Heart of Dakota. (the curriculum he is using) As I was sitting there trying to teach him this as his memory verse the lord started to minister to MY heart. I started wondering..., Am I being prideful?
What I found was that I am in the process of juggling lots of fires right now. I am doing my Betty/Olive workshop on Tuesday, I am speaking at our church's Children's ministry conference in April, on how to help children memorize scripture. I am preparing for our County wide Talent Show in April, and I'm preparing to speak at our state homeschool convention in Orlando in May. I don't think I've ever had that many upcoming events before. I started to get "busy".
As I had been preparing this week......., Typing up my outlines, putting together my personal stories, even looking up the scriptures I want use, I had somehow in the midst of this started leaving the Lord at the door, while "I" took over. (ouch) It was feeling like a lot of "WORK".
The truth is when I remember my position John 15:5 (HE'S the vine, I'M the brach) it ISN'T a lot of work. It flows freely. My cup is FULL and it just naturally sloshes out.
Part of our assignment was to look up the words Pride and Humble....,
Pride- An undue sense of one's superiority, Arrogance and Conceit.
Humble- Having or expressing a sense of selfLESSNESS.
You know never once was I sitting there thinking I had it all together, (believe ME I know my weaknesses) but pride is anything that includes more of "me" and less of "Him". He doesn't want my "Ability", He wants my "AVAILability". When I looked up Humbleness, the word "SELFLESSNESS", just zinged my heart! Lord teach me to let go and to just follow YOU!
