Author: The Institute for Creation Research
January 17, 2009

My Name is Pride. I am a cheater.
I cheat you of your God-given destiny...because
you demand your own way.
I cheat you of contentment...because you "deserve better than this."
I cheat you of knowledge...because you already know it all.
I cheat you of healing...because you're too full of me to forgive.
I cheat you of holiness...because you refuse to admit when you're wrong.
I cheat you of vision...because
you'd rather look in a mirror than out a window.
I cheat you of genuine friendship...beca…

Tonight as i was putting my 4 year old to bed..we were reading his bedtime story, I had a 'thought'.
The story is called 'Sweet Dreams'......a tale from Winnie The Pooh.
Here is the beginning of the story.....
Winnie the Pooh was looking at the most beautiful thing in the whole world. It was more beautiful than the trees or the clouds or a sunset over the pond.
He was looking into a pot full of honey.
Pooh gazed at it, smiling. He imagined all the wonderful times he and the honey were going…

One Day Completely With God
Lysa TerKeurst
“Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.” Psalm 84:10a (NIV)
Devotion:
Why do I often want to settle for less than what God has for me? What if I truly lived today completely obedient to God's word and in tune with His voice?

God has never asked me to do gre…
