Dont Let Your Ego Block Out The Son

"Everybody says you're on top of the world, but i know the truth // You're a sick sad son of a gun, and in your right hand is a one way ticket to hell" - Eatmewhileimhot!, "The Two-Armed Man"

Bleh. I hate being sick.

But i think by today ive made progress with this strep throat thing. It happens to be a lot better, but its terribly annoying.

Theres another thing on my heart that i find quite annoying.

People who i know that love jesus, that just cant seem to get enough of themselves.

I'm trying not to sound snobbish or come off rude, but sometimes people just dont know how they appear to everyone else. Although i wont say names, it happens to a few people. I know the intent in their heart is not to show off (or it might be... but thats for another time), but it just so happens that the glorify themselves or their talents before God. Their ego just takes control of them. They have to appear as if they mean everything to everyone.

If you happen to be reading this post just because, i challenge you to take a look at your attitude. Do you find yourself praising yourself for doing something for others or the good of a community? The credit, and praise, should be given to that dude, who's chillin upstairs on the throne.

I love quoting bible verses for my posts, so here's another one I'll use from Jeremiah 9:24. "But let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD.

Dont boast in yourself, guys. Give it all to the Lord.

May this be on your heart,
Brandon Frederick (BFred)
