It’s easy to be humble and repentant when we face trials, but how do we respond when it seems like everything we touch turns to gold? There may be more danger in prosperity than in adversity. Today’s reading explains why presumption is dangerous.
Today’s reading:
My selection:
Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.
Romans 2:3-5
