It's hard not to look back at the progress we've made. Perhaps to some degree we ought to from time to time, just to be encouraged that the Lord, indeed, is working in our lives, is sanctifying us for His kingdom, severing sin and establishing His righteousness in us!But... I would strongly encourage you not to camp out long in the land of self-admiration. It's a great danger to show the left hand what the right hand is doing as we grow in godliness. Satan would love us to start admiring our progress. How many times have I heard his whisper, "Wow, that was really righteous of you." Thief! He comes to steal, kill and destroy!The danger herein is to forget that anything we are, have or will become in godliness is wrought only and solely by the sheer unmerited favor of our good and holy God. Rather than self-righteousness, God's grace should promote great humility and happiness in our once ever-wicked and perverted heart. From such a vantage point, we can authentically herald to the hopeless, "No! There is hope in God. Look to Jesus!"Are your eyes fixed on your failures? Are they fixed on your righteousness? Join us this week for Genesis 6.1-8 as we remind our eyes to be fixed on our Father and His Son in whom is our hope and salvation!
