We have probably all encountered people that are "puffed up" or full of themselves. There may even have been moments when we were a little puffed up ourselves. It can be hard to deal with others (or ourselves) when we are too reliant on what we can or think we can do on our own. We need to remember to live for and with God!
Those that are puffed up and full of themselves will eventually experience a fall. We cannot keep ourselves puffed up. However, if we turn to God and strive to live a faithful, righteous life, we do not have to be concerned with "puffing" up ourselves. We will be supported by God and truly filled with His presence, grace, and power. With God in our lives, we will be filled forever!
Instead of being "puffed up," allow God to fill you now and forever!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for filling me and supporting me throughout my life. Help me to rely on You and to not be puffed up by what I try to do. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
