Proverbs 8:13 “To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech.”
HIS Choice Chains!
How Pride so entangles our lives with great ease! Its’ web lets none free save surrendering souls…
…whose choice leaves behind what the Flesh holds so dear. Yet the “unchained” were not freed by Self.
Yea, constrained “rather than”…
by the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
So the opposite of every ego finds servants who pray Heaven’s spotlight displays only GOD!
Transparent becoming with Everyday’s passing; HIS face then is seen while untangling Pride’s ropes!
Thus constrained “rather than”…
by the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Redirecting all praise and attention to Glory where CHRIST stands awaiting HIS Hour to return…
…so the greatest of glows thus surrounds those whose “shackles” are only those bonds
GOD assigned.
As HIServant reminded to cast those distracting attentions the world assigns,

Devotional: Proverns 16:18 -19 “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.”
This title, “HIS Choice Chains”, directs us to favor, desire, want and ultimately be compelled by HIS will “rather than” our own.
For instance, a choice piece of meat is the best or the finest. So to be spiritually disciplined as HIServant, to be found as HIS willing bondservant, we must shun the world’s assignments.
They attach praise of your actions to a ball and chain.
Eventually, if such accolades are gathered like choice silver, then one will become immobilized. Unable to move and do what GOD has assigned for them.
The Master’s Stable is a long poem / story GOD gave me years ago and I’ve posted here a couple times.
I reference it again to RE-remind us, one and all, to just embrace HIS glorious bonds and be found diligently removing all the world’s chains.
Serve relentlessly unchained then from the pride of Life which so easily entangles!
Amen and amen!
