WRONG RESPONSES
Today's reading: 2 Chronicles 29-32

"About that time, Hezekiah became deathly ill. He prayed to the Lord, who healed him and gave him a miraculous sign. But Hezekiah did not respond appropriately to the kindness showed to him, and he became proud." 2 Chronicles 32:25 NLT

Well, I've jumped head-long into another tough situation. I had the very best of intentions when I sought God's direction in more areas of my life--those I need to be more involved in and those I need to drop like hot potatoes. I asked expecting. And now? Now God's answering in hugely evident ways.

Like today's verse.

I struggle with pride.

Always have.

But then again, you probably guessed that by the verse He spotlighted in my Scripture reading today.

I have a long record of inappropriate responses. I've walked away from several ministry opportunities that have left me with a sore arm--from patting myself on the back.

So? Pride is the next life lesson I'll be working on. I'm going to start by adjusting my attitude to one of Christ-likeness instead of the one I've been sporting. I'm going to change my outlook to one that seeks to place God first and to glorify Him--to give Him back the microphone if you will.

As Christian friends, I ask that you hold me accountable to this huge challenge ahead. You see, old habits are very, very, very hard to break!
