Don’t Deceive Yourself

“For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.” Psalm 36:2

The first step in coming to CHRIST is to comprehend what we are.  To understand within ourselves there is nothing good directs us to the only One that is.  The Word of GOD is full of stories of men and women who were failures.  When these men and women realized their success depended on GOD and not themselves, they became the wonderful success stories we all love and want to be like.  

Some start off great by placing their lives in the hands of the LORD but later become puffed up in what GOD has made them, thinking they have become successful on their own. “For he flattereth himself in his own eyes”

When a believer gets into this state of delusion they begin to justify their own sin, thinking they are above it.  They are out of control and completely oblivious of their need of GOD or of the help of others that would guide them into the right direction.  What a terrible state of mind this is!  Instead of being the servant GOD has called them to be thy have become the tool of the devil. “until his iniquity be found to be hateful.”

There is a foolishness we all face

That can blind us of the facts.

When we are absorbed in ourselves,

Our morals become relaxed.

Thinking to high of what we are

Will only make us a fool.

When we leave CHRIST out of our lives,

We will become the devils tool.

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5
