How do we combat “self”: We need to make sure that we are in the word daily and communicating with God daily. Not just a meek reading where we read a quick chapter or a quick encouragement for the day. I am talking about deep searching, studying the scripture not just reading it, but asking God to reveal His word to us in our hearts.
We need to ask God as David did in Psalms 139:23-24: “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.” (NKJV )
My friend, we need to make sure that we have surrendered all to God, that we don’t leave any roots of the “things” in our lives to take the place of God. What happens when we leave roots – they grow back, don’t they? We need to ask God to help us pluck them out. We need to ask God to help remove the self-hyphenated sins in our lives.
Life is not all about me, it is about God. We were made in His image. We need to take stock and ask, “Do I glorify God in everything I do?” When you live in total surrender to God, there is a peace and joy that will flood your soul.
