January 12 When you do not know who you are you inadvertently allow everything around you to dictate your identity. One of the most dangerous things is not knowing your own true identity because this world we live in is full of vultures waiting to lay claims on you as long as you allow it to.

As the saying goes, pride always comes before the fall. Far too often we do not see the truth and reality of this until it has already happened because our own pride creeps into our hearts in such a subtle way. We usually don’t even realize that we are
January 14 If you were to take some time out and ponder about how many times the Lord has called you, what do you think that number will be?

Our focus is always me, myself and I so much so that we fail to even thank Him. It’s sad to think that most days we go from morning to night without saying thank you to God.
