"Do not say in your heart when the LORD your God has driven them out before you, 'Because of my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land,' but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD is dispossessing them before you. Know, then, it is not because of your righteousness that the LORD your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are a stubborn people." Deuteronomy 9
Do you need this reminder as much as I do? We as Christians are still not righteous of ourselves. It is only Christ's righteousness that covers us. We are no different than the Israelites, still stiff-necked, still rebellious, still stubborn.
I long so badly to be completely devoted to my Lord. But I get so distracted and side tracked by every day life. Instead of seeing every task as an act of worship to Him, I get wearied and my thoughts wander. I am so stubborn, as much as I WANT to lay down my desires and my "rights" when push comes to shove I do not do it. I make excuses...But eventually I come back to His Word, and I am thankful for His mercy and grace that I am so undeserving of.
"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. Be of sober spirit, be on the alert Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world. After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen." 1 Peter 5:6-11
