“Pride goeth before destruction, And an haughty spirit before a fall.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:18‬. This should give us great caution in addressing the matter of pride. 

Every time a tragic event happens we are all shocked at how anyone could do such a thing whatever that thing is. While I am grieved at wicked acts whatever they might be I am not shocked. Are we shocked because our starting premise is incorrect, I believe this is the case.

You can listen to me Monday through Friday 11pm to 3Am on SOFLOW radio you can find that on live 365 and iheart radio. I will Still do my podcast but this is one of the reasons I have not been posting as much. My format is the same, my focus is the Bible and what it says across every topic. I realize every single issue isn't explicitly mentioned in scripture, but we can definitely piece things together from the truth we find in the Bible.

This subject produces much anger and tension From People of differing beliefs and I get it we don't all think alike. This isn't necessarily for people who don't believe the Bible, not that it isn't applicable just that if you do not believe the Bible it is not your guide and to you holds no authority. For those who believe the Bible do not let the world define for you what God has already defined and established.

We have decided in our own earthly wisdom that we have the best solutions. And as far as I can tell this isn't working out well societally, We have wrought death destruction and chaos. So at what point do we finally repent and come before God humbly for true wisdom.

Habakkuk continues in his prayer covering the exodus of Israel, and their habitation in the promise land after driving out the heathen nations that resided there.

Habakkuk After his conversation with God enters into prayer.

Have we misunderstood the fear of the Lord? Have we had a proper reverance for God? As I read Proverbs 1:7 I asked Myself these questions and reevaluated the Biblical Concept of  the Fear of The Lord.

The Babylonians are lifted up they believe themselves untouchable and in that pride, they build up the ground for their own destruction.

We are now at the stage where we are debating basic foundational truths. This is not an accident this is a willful effort to establish freedom from the constraints placed on us by God. Man is on a continual search for complete freedom, not in the physical sense but in the spiritual sense.
