“If anyone thinks they are something when they are
not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they
can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone
else,”
Galatians 6:3-4
If you think you are “all that” when you are not you
really are not fooling anyone.
The real deception is to you.
Others are often much more aware of your shortcomings
than you are.
Sometimes because they have been at the receiving end
of those shortcomings!
Maybe it was your temper, maybe your impatience; whatever
they might be we often have a blind spot to all of them.
If you struggle with looking down on others smugly maybe
it’s because you are comparing yourself and your state with them.
We ought to ‘test our own actions’.
How about comparing your walk today with your walk of
a month or a year ago?
Are you growing in your walk with the Lord?
You know you can ask Him to guide your steps?
He has given us the Holy Spirit as one who comes
alongside to lead us and to guide us into all truth.
Don’t be blind, deaf or dumb to opportunities to grow
in your life.
Let the Holy Spirit set your course and curriculum!
