How Is The Ground You Stand On?
By Mark Flippo
1 Corinthians 10:12 (MSG)
These are all warning markers—danger!—in our history books, written down so that we don’t repeat their mistakes. Our positions in the story are parallel—they at the beginning, we at the end—and we are just as capable of messing it up as they were. Don’t be so naive and self-confident. You’re not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence; it’s useless. Cultivate God-confidence.
I like the above artwork and scripture. They both say a lot! At times we forget we are just as vulnerable as the people of the Old and New Testaments. We should learn and not repeat the mistakes that have been clearly placed there for our learning and growing in God. My Father just has to remind me from time to time. That's when I repent and start over with a fresh perspective. It is good for all of us to have the rug pulled out from under us to teach us Humility!
Lord keep us in a place where we can bring others up and out of their distress and slumps.
