It is the humble man whom God protects and liberates; it is the humble whom He loves and consoles.
To the humble He turns and upon them bestows great grace, that after their humiliation He may raise them up to glory.
He reveals His secrets to the humble, and with kind invitation bids them come to Him.
Thus, the humble man enjoys peace in the midst of many vexations, because his trust is in God, not in the world.
Hence, you must not think that you have made any progress until you look upon yourself as inferior to all others.

My mission in writing this blog is to take part in the Great Commission:
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
My walk with Christ began about 40 years ago when I met one of the leaders of Jews For Jesus who helped me change my life around. Growing up as a Jew in Maryland I did not know who God was and never practiced Judaism.
The Lord has brought me through many trials, has educated me on His rules for Godly living, taught me wisdom from above and how to surrender and allow Him to take over in all situations.
Hopefully I can impart a fraction of what Jesus has taught me and if this helps, let me know when I see you in heaven one day!
