Bummer

It seems I've jacked my ankle up royally, I don't know how bad yet, I'm getting that taken care of tomorrow. I have never rolled my ankles, I've never done anything to injure them, they are incredibly strong, and with them I've done some incredible things, never with any negative repercussions. This includes jumping from well over 10 feet in the air onto asphalt, or skateboarding for the last 9 years hardcore to name some of the more mild ankle achievements. You know what I did? I kicked a soccer ball against someone else's foot when they had planted it... I kicked a ball. This tells me one thing, I'm too proud of my abilities physically. As a believer in Christ Jesus I'm promised that everything I need to live a life doing the will of God is provided for by Him, everything. That doesn't mean that I'm not required to do what is necessary to take hold of that provision, whatever it may be. Provisions are anything I need to live this new life that is in Christ, whether that be knowledge, food, money to support me, emotional strength, purpose, security, it's all supplied through the grace of the person I now have my identity. this will be a struggle for me, I struggle with pride just as much as the next person, but what do I have to be proud of? temporary fleeting physical strength? lame and ultimately weak. knowledge and wisdom from this earth? limited and finite. The very earth itself? decaying and doomed. What then? I think the answer is clear, my trust is in the one who is eternal and infinite in all areas of character. Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief.
