MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2010 SAND AND STONE OF PRIDE Pride is a hard heart, one that makes
itself higher than others. It comes in two forms: sand or stone. A sand heart
focuses on people and tasks at the expense of God. It is loose and requires a
storm to be shaped and restored. A stone heart pretends to focus on God at the
expense of others. It is legalistic and requires tooling by a sharp instrument
to be shaped and restored.
Ironically, both sand and stone are the same substance, just a different
aggregate. In essence, sand is just tiny pieces of crumbled up stone. However,
neither reflects the wisdom of the Restorer because proud sand and stone hearts
are foolish. Solomon observed, "Stone is heavy and sand a burden, but
provocation by a fool is heavier than both" (Proverbs 27:3). Which substance
represents the condition of your heart? Surrender it to the Restorer today.
