00:01 Welcome back. In our applications section we always
00:03 like to share practical things; something you can do 00:06 at home this week. 00:07 Today we talked about the boastful heart. 00:11 And whether you feel like that fits you, don't be discouraged. 00:16 1. This week just go to God and say, God, what are the areas of 00:20 pride that are lurking in my heart? 00:23 Am I boastful and I don't even know about it? 00:27 Ask God to prompt you on the shoulder when the first step 00:30 of pride comes into your life. 00:32 Psalm 36:11. I have my Bible open here. 00:36 It says, Let not the foot of pride come against me, 00:40 and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away. 00:44 I like that verse because it indicates the foot 00:47 of pride to me is the first step. 00:50 So David's saying, God, I don't even want the 00:52 first step of pride. 00:55 I don't even want the first step. 00:56 So go to God. Ask Him to show you this week, Are there any 01:00 areas of boastful pride that exist? 01:03 And if so, ask Him to show you the very first step 01:08 when you slip into that. 01:09 2. Is ask your accountability partner... 01:12 We talked on a previous program about that. 01:15 Ask a trusted girlfriend, a Godly girlfriend, or maybe 01:20 your husband, and ask them if they see areas of 01:24 pride in your life. 01:26 Proverbs, Proverbs 27:17. 01:33 As iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the 01:37 countenance of his friend. 01:40 So be willing to be vulnerable. 01:43 Be willing to go to someone that you trust, 01:45 someone that you know is Godly, who can speak into your life, 01:50 and say, Jill, you've got pride going on. 01:53 Go back to God and ask for forgiveness. 01:57 3. Behold Jesus. Spend time in His Word. 02:01 That's the best way to get to know Him. 02:04 Spend time in prayer. 02:06 And finally, ask God to put a check in your spirit before you 02:10 speak, to kind of prompt you. 02:12 Woops! That's about ready to be a boastful comment that's almost 02:16 going to slip out. 02:18 Just ask Him to prompt you when you're about ready to say 02:22 something that might be boastful. 02:25 Next week we're going to discuss the critical heart, 02:29 the critical spirit. 02:31 You won't want to miss that program. 02:34 Finally, our Scripture verse, as we always like to use at the end 02:39 of each program is Romans 15:13. 02:44 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace 02:48 in believing, that you may abound in hope, 02:51 by the power of the Holy Spirit. |
