Daily Devotion: Proverbs 28:25-26

By

Proverbs 28:25-26    "He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.  (26)  He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered."

We often hear it said, "Follow your heart." That sounds good, but there is a problem with that. God's Word tells us, "The heart is deceitful above all things..." (Jeremiah 17:9) We read that the heart can become haughty and filled with pride. The heart can become sorrowful and cause us to look inward rather than upward. There are many problems that can arise when we "follow our heart". 

How can we avoid the mistakes that our hearts can bring? We have seen that we cannot trust ourselves to always make good decisions.  Is it not by walking in the leadership of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ? He always leads us in the right paths for His name's sake. We can trust Him in all matters.

It's always nice and sweet when Devotions make us feel good about ourselves. But sometimes the Word of God causes me to become uncomfortable. Today's verses bring me to that place. It would be so very easy for me to look at the contrast between what was happening to Jesus and what was happening with Peter. It would be very comfortable for me to sit here this morning and condemn Peter for standing outside by the fire while Jesus was inside being mocked, spat upon, and struck by the servants of the high priest. It would be easy for me to sit here and say, "...
