Arrogance keeps a person from returning to God because arrogance acknowledges no need of help from anyone, human or divine. Pride intensifies all our other sins because we can't repent of any of them without first giving up our pride. Life without God is unreliable. Without God's direction our thoughts are filled with lust, cheating, selfishness & deceit. As long as we are wrapped by sin, we will never reach our true potential.
People look everywhere except to God for happiness & fulfilment, pursuing possessions, activities, & relationships. In reality only God can truly satisfy the deep longings of the soul. Look first to Heaven to the most High Hod. He will met your spiritual needs, not all your materialistic wants. To more prosperous we are the more love it lavished on idols.
It seems as the more God gives, the more we spend. We want bigger houses, better cars & finer clothes. The finest things the world offers line the pathway to destruction. As you prosper consider where your money is going. Is it going to be used for God's purposes or are you consuming it all on yourself.
When we seek security in anything except God, we expose ourselves to great danger. Without God there is no lasting security. When our will is weak, when our thinking is confused, & when our conscience is burdened with a load of guilt, we must remember that God cares for us continually. His passion never fails, when friends & family deserts us when coworker does not understand us & when when we are tired of being good, God's compassion never fails.
When we can't see the way or seem to hear God's voice, & when we lack courage to go on, God's compassion never fails. When our shortcoming and our awareness of our sins overcome us, God's compassion never fails.
