My Father Rules The Universe

Let see, our earthly dad's are many, with many occupations. My father was a mechanic, a farmer, and he painted cars. There are doctors, dentists, scientists, chemists, presidents of businesses, teachers, forest rangers, trappers,  factory workers, preachers and the list goes on and on. They are a pretty terrific bunch of guys and appreciated for what they do!
Our Heavenly Father has many occupations as well. He created the heavens and the earth, the sun, moon, stars, the four seasons and everything in each of them. He makes the earth rest in the winter and wake up in the spring.
He created every living creature, in the sky, on the earth, under the earth. And He manages all this stuff everyday  24/7, 365 days over and over and over, and He still has room to love us, lead, guide, provide, and protect us.
Abba Father is the best, most talented, most loving, strong, compassionate Father there ever will be.
We should make everyday Fathers Day and tell Him how much He is appreciated.
Post your feelings of Abba Father in the comments. Lets love on Him today!

Pride~

Pride~
Of all the lunacies earth can boast,
The one that must please the devil most
Is pride reduced to the whimsical terms
Of causing the slugs to despise the worms.
----Robert Brough
----more about pride----
Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before a fall.
Better to be of a humble spirit
     with the lowly,
Than to divide the spoil with the
     proud.
He who heeds the word wisely will
     find good.
And whoever trusts in the Lord,
     happy is he.
----Psalm 16: 18-20

Pride~
May have been the first sin!
The serpent in the garden, full of pride himself,
played on Eve's self-esteem using pride~
He convinced her that if she ate of it
her eyes would be opened and she
would be like God, knowing good and evil.
                 ~~~~
Has pride ever gotten to you?
Honestly I think we're all victims of it!
Praying about it is a great beginning~
What other ways have you found to
overcome pride?


GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
