Pieces

How to fit the pieces together.  Just right.

Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes?  There is hope for a fool than for him.

-Proverbs  26:12

I know it sounds simple, but we have to keep that in check.  Where does your wisdom come from?

The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.

-Proverbs 28:1

Does it take someone else to light a fire under you to get you motivated, or are you one of the ones taking action, being bold, standing strong?

Whoever walks in integrity will be delivered, but he who is crooked in his ways will suddenly fall.

-Proverbs 28:18

Integrity of the world verses integrity of the Word.  Usually very different.  Our ways can be crooked without us even realizing it.  Don't let the world's integrity be yours.  Let the Word give you the advice; let the Word be the example you follow.

One's pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.

-Proverbs 29:23

Growing up, in order to toughen us up, we are told to have confidence and take pride in ourselves.  But the confidence and pride that we have should be in who we are IN Jesus, and who we are BECAUSE of Him.  Therefore knowing these things we are lowly in our own spirit; we know where are strength comes from, and that we are undeserving.

In order to obtain His honor, we must find holiness.  In order to find holiness, we must have repentance.  In order to be in TRUE repentance, we must confess our sins, and truly mean and understand the wrong in what we've done, which makes us not WANT to commit these sins again.  You will be broken, not hurt.  Do you know the difference?  Being broken, you know that there are pieces of you that only God can put together.  When you are broken, it's not about you anymore- it's the greater purpose.

It takes a lot of self-reflection and prayer.  We will never get to a perfect being, but let's strive to be like our best buddy in His honor!  I'm right there with ya!
