Haughty and a prideful heart

Does your tongue condemn or does it love with humbleness?

Haughty eyes and a proud heart,
The lamp of the wicked, is sin. Pvb 21:4

Nobody likes to be struck down by their actions. There is no need to have a harsh tongue in response either.

We are to be blameless.

Sometimes we fall, get up in shame- knowing that we could have withstood our battle. Then it feels that we have become a worthless witness of Christ and feel that you are not worthy of this job and want to quit. But, what is up with that? Get back up and see what just happened and try and be ready the next time it happens.

If we are not Jesus and we are designed to be sinners, then, do we not carry "The lamp of the wicked"? The lamp of the wicked is sin- AND WE ARE ALL SINNERS!!! We sin every day without knowing.

Lets acknowledge our sin before the Lord and ask for forgiveness of our sins.

So, if we are instructed to become more like Jesus, He will prompt us put down that lamp of the wicked. My case in point is... what the heck has happened to my marriage??? We have casted each other down and have built up a defense against one another and have no interest of making a treaty. Instead, we are just waiting for a mistake, being ready to attack.

Haughty eyes and a proud heart...

Am I not proud to have such a wall of defense that I have put up against my wife. Mainly against drinking- I think...

Haughty means to arrogantly superior. Pride kinda means to so enthralled in your stature. Both of these we carry all to often and stand behind them in regards to our own perception of Christianity. The bible speaks of the wicked often and we do not consider ourselves to be of the wicked.

We stand in our own vision of righteousness thinking that we are not the ones that are wrong and fight back. Doesn't God tell us to humble ourselves??? BE HUMBLE. I don't think that God tells us to stand firm and yell back in defense. We are going outside of God's instruction and having haughty eyes and a proud heart. We put ourselves higher than those whom we perceive as the lost and cast judgement on them instead of being humble, mending relationships as God desires.

LETS FIX WHAT IS WRONG!!! LETS NOT LET IT GO ON ITS PATH OF DESTRUCTION!!! IN FACT, LETS ACKNOWLEDGE OUR WAYS BEFORE GOD AND HE WILL MAKE OUR PATHS STRAIGHT. LETS NOT GIVE UP IF WE ARE BEING A FALSE WITNESS, LETS FIX IT AND MOVE ON!!!

Amen
