 MARCH 18 Danger of Overconfidence |
PRAYER. O Almighty and Eternal God, do not let me be presumptuous but ever let me rely on Your promise of grace. |
|
THIS is how I describe the state into
which the blessing of peace leads unwary Christians. They become not only
overconfident of their knowledge of
God's ways but positive in their overconfidence.
They find it a much more comfortable view, much more agreeable to the indolence of human nature, to give over seeking and to believe they had nothing more to find. |
