Remember!

You know when a mom tells her child not to do something, and the kid does it anyway - looking right at her knowing full well he's disobeying. Is there NOT a mom out there who finds this frustrating beyond all measure?

Yet, how often do we do this to the Lord? The patience He must have! I'm not just talking about an innocent mistake, later realized. I'm referring to the very instant sin is being committed, big or small, telling yourself, "I know better, I really shouldn't..." then choosing sin over righteousness.


Why? Obviously, there is a lack of self-control, but it goes deeper than that. Self-control is born from a desire to become our best, which desire is the fruit of understanding our divine heritage. When we know who we are and our relationship to our Father in heaven, choosing righteousness is a pleasure. Obedience becomes a quest, rather than an irritation.

Satan would have us forget our divine nature, as is so well illustrated in the story of Moses. This was, and is, his first plan of attack.

Never forget who you are.
