1 Samuel 2:2-3

Posted on by Just broken

1 Then Hanna prayed and said:…

2 “There is none holy like the LORD; there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.
3 “Do not keep taking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance, for the Lord is a God who knows, and by him deeds are weighed.”

There it is. We are so full of ourselves we forget God is watching and taking it inventory of everything we do. This God of ours loves us more than we love ourselves, loves us for who we are (which might not be who He created us to be – yet), and, like any parent, wants us to succeed.
However, He it’s watching us, judging us, keeping tabs on our lives. He is so deeply concerned He sent His Son to atone for our sins (being judged and judgemental, two “weighty” topics that we hate to do but can’t live without. We make judgements every day – do I like these texts? That’s a great latte! Learn how to drive you idiot!…. etc.).
Don’t be so arrogant to think He doesn’t notice, so small minded to think He doesn’t care, so ignorant to think He doesn’t exist.
There is no God like our God, no Rock like Him. Believe and truly prosper. It matters and has eternal consequences.

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
