I am so stubborn! God lays out in the Bible how to act and what to do and not do for my own good! I have been so set in my ways for a long time. Sin is just so hard to beat sometimes to me. This has come up because I have been reading in Deuteronomy(sorry if its misspelled) about how God brings His chosen people into the promised land. The past few days I have read have been warnings to Israel to not go into the land and forget about God and forget to follow His commands because He make them fall just as easily as those He made fall so that Israel could come in. He says to be careful and not to fall into selfishness, pride or idol worship. It kind of made be fearful. God has done great things in my life around me and here I am falling into pride, selfishness and sin. I am afraid that if I go on like this He will have to do something drastic to remind me He is there and wants me to live for Him alone. Please pray for me as I go through this struggle. It is my greatest desire to live completely for the glory of God and to be used by Him. God, please help me.
