There are some very misinformed people who believe that one comes to faith in Christ and that’s that, then live life anyway they wish. Kind of like having fire insurance.
“No gift is worse received when there is no feeling of a need for it. The simple doesn’t see his defects and the arrogant things he sees great abundance of ability in himself.”
We all have limitations. What are yours? Are they painful? Frustrating? We have great examples in Scripture to help us see our limitations in a different light. * Oops, I meant to reference Numbers 20 but said Deuteronomy.

Can you, in all honesty, say that The Lord is your Shepherd ALL of the time? I have found that sometime, I wish to be His Shepherd!
The New Testament mentions Satan over 35 times. It also has given us a list of names of him and their meaning. This world is under the power of Satan, but in no way are Satan and his demons free, they are creatures subject to God's sovereign control and will.

This phrase may be a southern thing, but we all know what a temper tantrum is. It’s not just two-year-olds that have hissy fits. Some of God’s servants did (and do) too.
All sin is against God, but The Lord hates pride. Why is it often difficult to remain in creature status?
Think about “stories” in the Bible like David and Goliath or Joshua and the men walking around the walls of Jericho, or Jesus multiplying the loaves and fishes, etc. We can read the “stories” and overlook God!

A living and loving God must speak, for how else should we know His thoughts about us or toward us, or how should we come to know Him if there is not His Word to us?
Our Scripture is from 2 Kings 4:8-37. Our Song is, It Is Well With My Soul. If ever we needed encouragement, it is now!
If we ever lose focus that our efforts have no lasting value, that will begin the descent to the basement of depression.
