~~Halfway through DEEPER~~
I have got to say that I am quite puzzled that so far I did only 4 SOAP journals! I thought I'd have more time to spend on journal-ing when I am sick coz I am not going to uni, but... how did I missed them all??? I probably did read the daily devotional, and that's it...
So I confess my failure in keeping up on SOAP journal, and I still do not have consistency on chewing on the Words of God. But I know that from the beginning of DEEPER God's been speaking to me on the issue of pride and prejudice.
"Do not think highly of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you." [Rom 12:3]
Looking at what I have written, all 4 days, I prayed for change of 'judging' attitude that I have... I know that I do have this problem to always want to be 'right' and I am so accustomed to despise what is 'wrong' and so I am always quick to avoid people are doing the wrong things. I never want to associate with them and maybe under my conscience, I started to put labels on the people around me, 'kind', 'trustworthy', 'not reliable', 'gossiper', 'backstabber','proud', etc etc... And their labels highly affect how I treat them...
Paul warned the church in Corinth not to make judgment ahead of time, because God is the only Holy one who has the right to pass judgment on human beings. And everyone of us is flawed and guilty, if it's not for the washing by the blood of Christ.
I thank God that He has convicted me on this, and even if it's just on this one thing that He wants to reveal to me, I am glad that He speaks, and will continue His work in me, from the inside out.
& as I am God's workmanship, I shall boast only of my Master's skill =D
