Just the right mix of gratitude and supplication. I cannot count the times I have asked the Lord to shelter me under his wings and protect me from my foolish pride.
I have this silly example of passing prideful thoughts. I am putting quilting onto a quilt. My work is flowing smoothly and I am thinking to myself " You are finally getting good at this. Not a skipped stitch, all your corners and seams are so good." Then I ran over my hair and stitched a wide swath of the hair on the right side of my head to the quilt. God's harmless and very suitable slap to his goofy boastful lamb.
I so needed this wisdom today. Thank you, Janice. ❤️✝️🙏
I thought the last verse was especially timely.

Well now, that's convicting. I was thinking of that "other" pride.

I hope it’s ok if I laugh at that mental image. 😝He does have a way of readjusting when needed. It could have been worse. 😉
