Lamentations 3:40 (NIV)
40 Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us
return to the Lord.
Our modern philosophy of self-reliance and self-sufficiency
has caused many to believe that we can make the grade without God. “Religion,”
they argue, “may be all right for certain emotional people, but you can’t beat
a man who believes in himself.” But this self-confident generation has produced
more alcoholics, more dope addicts, more criminals, more wars, more broken
homes, more assaults, more embezzlements, more murders, and more suicides than
any other generation that ever lived. It is time for all of us to take stock of
our failures, blunders, and costly mistakes. It is about time that we are
putting less confidence in ourselves and more trust and faith in God.
Thought for today:
Do I know that my confidence is in God or if it is hubris?
