ALL UNBELIEF
Horatius Bonar (1808-1889) minister and poet wrote:“In all unbelief there are these two things: a good opinion of one's self, and a bad opinion of God.”
Perhaps I need to put away all the coaching and self-help books that tell me how good I am, what all I can accomplish and how wonderful I am. Maybe just a change to more reading of the scriptures that tell me how good God is.
I’m headed over to the other side of the Pond to have some Cuban Coffee and Apple Crisp with Vanilla Ice Cream and try to sort through this opinion thing. I am pretty certain that any good opinion of myself is to convince and impress you as much as me. I might even try to convince God by more performance with some religious baloney. Lord, help my unbelief.
