Admitting Defeat

Jacob 2

Jacob denounces the love of riches, pride, and unchastity—Men should seek riches to help their fellow men—Jacob condemns the unauthorized practice of plural marriage—The Lord delights in the chastity of women. Between 544 and 421 B.C.


I was thinking about pride and I just read this: "And, O that ye would listen unto the word of his commands, and let not this ^apride of your hearts destroy your souls!"

Sometimes I feel like I'm pretty strong. That I can do things on my own and don't have a lot of weaknesses. Talk about being prideful. I do think I am a strong person, but I definately have pronounced weaknesses. Even if a person has only one weakness, it can be enough to completely destroy them. So, remembering that, I need to humble myself and admit defeat. I need to completely surrender my will to the Lord. That's the only way I'll be able to have peace in my life.
