February 19

God's punishments are always for one purpose, to break a proud spirit in us (Leviticus 26:19) so that we will come to full repentance and the full embrace of His sovereignty over our lives (Leviticus 26:40).

A prayer for us today, Father, help us to see any seed of a proud spirit within our hearts so that we might offer it to You for eradication, that we might humbly and fully come under the absolute governance of Your authority over our lives, enjoying Your favor, celebrating Your grace!
