Ponderize - Week 2 - Helaman 3:23
Now this is an impressive verse of scripture:
Nevertheless they did fast and pray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in their humility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation, yea, even to the purifying and the sanctification of their hearts, which sanctification cometh because of their yielding their hearts unto God.
How does one wax stronger and stronger in their humility? To me this might mean that, over time, when the offence occurs, whatever it may be, I no longer react in the same negative way as I used to. I have become ego-less, having cast of the natural man. To be in such a state would be wonderful, wouldn't it? Why would this fill our souls with joy and consolation? When we diminish our egos God fills our souls with joy. We have turned off our automatic response mechanism, the thing that continuously refuels the natural man within us. That is a goal worth working toward!
