“And they will call them, “The holy people, the redeemed of the LORD”; and you will be called, “Sought out, a city not forsaken.” Isaiah 62:12, NASB
Years ago, while at a dinner party, a woman was talking much about herself, her accomplishments, her opinions, and what she could do. She seemed to go overboard in trying to prove herself. I became so disgusted by her behavior that I left the table. Standing in the kitchen, God spoke to my heart, “How can you help women if you’re easily frustrated with them? Go back in there and listen to her.” So I did, and as I listened, she shared with me how she had gone through an abusive marriage and, as a young girl, how she had watched her father kill her mother. As I listened, I understood. Years later, I went through traumatic experiences in my own life and understood even more.
After any failure or painful experience, the greatest desire is to try to prove ourselves, prove what we can do, prove who we are, and prove that we can rise again. There’s nothing wrong with the desire itself. It is a natural human response. But if we aren’t careful, we can be consumed with the desire to prove and enter into pride.
My sister, I’ve learned the best way to prove yourself is to let God prove you. God can and will make it undeniable that He is with you. He will make it clear that His hand is on your life. When you humble yourself by yielding to Him, He will rise up strong and tall within you. He will silence your accusers. Let Him do the proving, okay, not you. Let your mighty God show Himself strong and flex His muscles in your life!
Prayer: Father God, thank you for speaking directly to my heart. Thank you for bringing me through and for never leaving me. Whenever I desire to prove myself, help me remember I’m not my past. I’m your daughter. Don’t let the desire to prove to consume me. I only want to be consumed by you. I yield to you now, and I trust you to rise within me and show yourself strong. Be glorified in me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
As of now I need prayer for my pridefulness.. I need prayer not become ready to prove myself…
Another timely message! As I give thanks to the Lord for giving me the courage to leave my emotionally abusive ex, I have to remember that I am not perfect and therefore should not allow the temptation of pride to take over causing me to think and want to prove that I am better than that ex. Your message reminded me to allow God to be in control, not me. Thank you 🙏

Thank you Jesus for speaking directly to my heart and the situation in my life. I have said it many times, “it’s not about me, but it’s about God and His will. Not my will, but His will be done”. With that being said. I need to humble myself, keep my mouth shut and allow God to prove me or correct me and still give Him the glory in Jesus name
Praise God thank you Jesus. This morning I just want to surrender my will to God. Ask that he forgive me for any pridefulness in my life. Lord my I stay humble before you, knowing that whatever I have accomplished is all you. I definitely couldn’t do it own my own without you. May my blessings be a blessing to someone else and may someone be encouraged when they see where you have brought me from, never to give up on you Lord. Because you are truly everything we could ever desire.
Well said. I receive this devotional word. I know this was sent by the Lord to speak to me. Thank you Sis. Kesha for allowing the Lord to use you in my times of need. Blessings, Shalom and Agape.🙏🏽❤🙏🏽❤🙏🏽
