Fresh Oil of Wisdom Moments: Praise the LORD!




Praise the LORD!

There was a little old lady who would come out every morning on the steps of her front porch, raise her arms to the sky, and shout, "Praise the Lord!"

One day an atheist moved into the house next door. Over time, he became irritated at the little old lady. So every morning he would step out onto his front porch and yell after her, "There is no Lord!"  Time passed with the two of them carrying on this way every day.

Then one morning in the middle of winter, the little old lady stepped onto her front porch and shouted, "Praise the Lord! Lord, I have no food and  I am starving. Please provide for me, oh Lord!"

The next morning, She stepped onto her porch and there were two huge bags of groceries sitting there. "Praise the Lord!" she cried out. "He has provided groceries for me!"

The atheist jumped out of the hedges and shouted, "There is no Lord. I bought those groceries!"
The little old lady threw her arms into the air and shouted, "Praise the Lord! He has provided me with groceries, and He made the devil pay for them"

What we see as virtue, God sees as a pride. God calls it as He sees it. It’s sin. In Proverbs, he said it this way: “Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord" (Proverbs 16:5). God doesn’t see pride (satisfaction with self) as a virtue (righteous).

“Pride and sin both have an ‘i’ in the middle.” The truth is pride doesn’t preserve you, it destroys you. That’s why the Bible says, “Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” Turn your nose down not up, you’ll live longer!

I KNOW, I KNOW, THAT I'M IN LOVE, AND HE'S THE ONLY ONE I'M THINKING OF. THE HOLY GHOST HIT ME AND THAT AIN'T NO LIE, AND I WILL LIVE RIGHT UNTIL I DIE.
GOD IS SOOOOOOOO AMAZING!!! HE NEVER LEADS YOU TO A PLACE IN YOUR LIFE, THAT HE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO NAVIGATE THROUGH!!! THANKING GOD WITH THE UNDERSTANDING, IF GOD'S NAVIGATION SYSTEM CAN'T PICK YOU UP, YOU'RE NOT UNDER HIS RADAR! BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR!!!

Ephesians 3:20 that God “is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us”. This is the kind of faith and life I want. I may be lacking in worldly wealth and stature but living in God’s will, trusting Him to meet my needs, and leading me in a life of joy and contentment that is beyond my expectation. It is a life money just can’t buy.
