Proverbs 14:12(NIV)
12 There is a way that appears to be right, but in the
end it leads to death.
A line of human thought that seems right to many people is
the idea of self-redemption. Man thinks he must work at righteousness to save
himself. After all, it was man who sinned and as we say, “God helps those who
help themselves.” But a greater truth than this emerges from the Bible-the
truth that God helps those who cannot help themselves. We cannot save
ourselves. It is noble to be upright if we can. It is admirable to be honest,
kind, and compassionate. It would seem that these characteristics would be
sufficient to save our souls. But the Bible says that though this way seems
right, it is wrong.
Thought for today:
Do I continually present myself present myself to God?
