When we look down on others with haughty judgment, we invoke the same compassionless treatment from God toward our infirmities. What a terrifying response from the living God! Belligerent people are told they can expect to be handled by God, not according to His tender compassion, but with severity matching their contempt of others. Such words should sober even the most hardened heart and result in a fresh realization that self-righteousness tops God’s list of man’s most despised iniquities (Prov. 6:16-19).

CONFESSION 10

ENCOURAGEMENT

I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. It is written, He will never leave me nor forsake me. I cast all my care upon Him because He cares for me. The Lord is always near me when I am of a broken heart and He saves me when I am of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers me out of them all. My steps are ordered by the Lord and I delight in His way. Though I fall, it is never fatal because the Lord holds me up with His hand. I cast my burdens upon the Lord and He sustains me. He never allows the righteous to be moved. My help comes from the Lord who made the heavens and the earth. I am not moved. He that keeps me never sleeps. I am not afraid for God is with me. I am not dismayed for He is my God. He strengthens me; He helps me; He holds me up with the right hand of His righteousness. My Heavenly Father knows when a single bird falls to the ground. He even knows the exact number of the hairs on my head. I will not fear, therefore, because I am of great value to God. If God is for me, who can be against me.
