But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine.
Isaiah 43:1
Talk is cheap, like daydreams and other useless activities. Fear God instead.
Ecclesiastes 5:7
Don’t let anyone condemn you by insisting on pious self-denial or the worship of angels, saying they have had visions about these things. Their sinful minds have made them proud, and they are not connected to Christ, the head of the body. For he holds the whole body together with its joints and ligaments, and it grows as God nourishes it.
Colossians 2:18-19
O Lamb of God, we are faced with moments of pride, ambition, and selfishness in this life. When those moments arise, remind us of your generosity and grace, so that we may offer these blessings to others and follow you humbly and selflessly. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
