10.30.18 – “What was Peter thinking? He
boasted that he would gladly die a martyr for the Lord, ran like a rabbit when
a little pressure was applied, and then denied the Lord three times while he cozied
up to a warm fire with the high priests servants. "Let him that thinketh
he standeth take heed, lest he fall!" Presumption and self-confidence have
brought down many a good man or woman. Lord, help us to stay true and avoid the
pitfalls of pride and presumption. Pride is a slippery slope and if pride has
its way you will surely fall!” S. E.

My
prayer for you today is for a humble heart which is the best defense against
pride!
Proverbs
29:23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but
honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. KJV
“Jimmy found much to criticize in his
small sister. He felt forced to remonstrate with his mother. "Don't you
want Jenny to be a good wife like you when she grows up?" he demanded. His
mother nodded assent. "Then you better get busy, ma. You make me give into
her all the time 'cause I'm bigger 'en she is. You're smaller 'en pa, but when
he comes in, you bring him his slippers, and hand him the paper." Jimmie
yanked his go-cart from baby Jennie, and disregarded her wail of anger as he
continued: “Got to dis’pline her, or she’ll make an awful wife!”
