Today’s Thought “If I Were King of the Forest!” G. Ward

Proverbs 16

⁵ Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; Be assured, he will not go unpunished.

The term, “proud in heart” translates arrogance. The heart, in this regard is not the bodily organ necessary to disperse blood throughout our beings, but is where thoughts, intention and will breed actions; either sanctioned by our Maker’s demand, or ill-recognized; but is prone to great error (Jer.17:9). Humankind, was never suited to correctly guide a life – HE proposed to exist. Instead, Holy God remains sole Creator and Proprietor of the earth and its contents, rendering perfect guidance to those surrendered to HIS Infinite Wisdom. Any negligence to HIS sovereign lead is contemptuous and if practiced so regularly, will lead to eternal separation from this Wonderful Creator (cf. John 14:6).

Softly and tenderly, Jesus is calling, calling for you and for me; see, on the portals He's waiting and watching, watching for you and for me.
