Proper “I” Care

Proper “I” Care

All are encouraged to schedule regular vision exams with Dr. Jesus. He checks our vision via His Word chart which measures our spiritual insight. He helps us recognize pride as the impure matter in our “I’s” that dims spiritual vision hastening spiritual blindness.

Proverbs 11:2NLT Pride leads to disgrace… Proverbs 16:18NLT Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall. Proverbs 29:23aNLT Pride ends in humiliation… Proverbs 15:25aNLT The Lord tears down the house of the proud…

Proper way to cleanse our “I’s” –
“All of you, serve each other in humility, for “God opposes the proud but favors the humble.” So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” 1 Peter 5:5b-7NLT

We should always read what is before us in proper lighting –
Psalm 119:105Mssg By your words I can see where I'm going; they throw a beam of light on my dark path.

We can avoid “I” strain by having the right corrective lenses –
Hebrews 12:2-3Mssg Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!
