Word for the day "Godly Directions"

^{Daniel 4:37 (NKJV)} Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.God has a way of showing us that we don't know as much as we think we do. And our Lord will certainly act on our behalf when we need to be shown that we don't know better than His will for our life. I am learning family of God even now in my life, that the Lord is in control!That's what happened to King Nebuchadnezzar who had to learn a serious lesson in humility. Talk about a severe act of mercy. This once proud king was struck with a mental illness for seven years. His mental illness caused him to roam the pastures outside the palace and chew grass like a cow. After paying the price for his pride, the once self-sufficient and self-centered king. Are you aware of own self-centered and prideful  ways?These words speak to the king's new understanding of God's control and to the choice He wants each of us to make: God's way or my way? Too often we neglect to ask God, "How do you want me to handle this?" or "How should I respond to this situation in a manner consistent with God's word?"Point to ponder- The reasons for not asking these questions boil down to one of two issues: ignorance or arrogance. I don't recommend either. Neither will benefit you, and both carry very high price tags. Have a great New Year 2016, seek the understanding the Lord has for your life!Follow me on Twitter @Elder James Baker, as I endeavor to encourage and empower leaders of today and tomorrow!Kingdom Blessings,Pastor James Baker, Jr.Thank you for using the Word Cup devotionals brought to you through Grace and Truth Leadership on (Word press).
