Boldness verses Pride
Prophet Andre Randall
Proverbs 28:1 (KJV) - The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
Wow what a contrast, “fleeing verses being bold or taking you stance!” Have you ever wanted to escape, stage right? I am sure we all have wanted to avoid difficult, abrasive or unpopular situations, but God has not given us a spirit of this nature, but of one that in the mist of adversity will remain in the fight to the end, one of power and sound mindedness.
Let’s not become passive in the way we engage life, but enter a quest for wisdom from the Word of God to pursue the victory and the rewards of life in a Godly manner. The Bible is clear that we should not expect an easy ride. In fact, it states that many are the afflictions of the righteous, but He will deliver us in them all.
There are many miracles that can only be realized in the heat of adversity. If you ever want to see the Lord open up a Red Sea, you will be required to stand in adverse, confrontational circumstances. I am no different from you. I would prefer the beach on sunny-side Hawaii 24/7.
Pride is not the same as boldness. Pride is self-centered and will not allow you to be corrected or admit wrong. Pride will cause you to stand for wrong for the sake of pleasing others at the expense of right—forfeiting the adventure of our salvation that can only come through the diamond beatification process. It is a wicked person that accuses God wrongly. Wickedness is equivalent to faithlessness. To believe that God’s intention is to do you harm rather than prove your integrity and character is just ungodly. Let’s not be scared of our own shadow or our past. There is no need to flee when no one is pursuing.
God Almighty maker of Heaven and Earth I seek your face today and every day to become wiser and stronger. I desire to represent you well even in hard and difficult times that it might testify of your greatness. In my weakness, many they may be, your strength is seen perfect. It is at these times I receive your witty ideas and you always make me look intelligent and graceful. I come boldly for grace in a time of need because I know your heart is to help me and do me no harm.
