When a man thinks himself to be powerful

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

There are two very famous athletes who often appear on TV commercials.  Both of them come into a room showing such great pride in themselves.  I cannot stand looking at either of them.  Often I close my eyes when they appear on screen.

Recently, I was reminded of following:

Psalm 90 ... they are like grass which groweth up.  6In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.  

It is only a matter of time until they are finished in their own strength and in their own wisdom.

Another scripture showing this same thing is Psalm 92:6-7 ...A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
7When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:



Also Psalm 37 says a similar thing ... Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 

Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.  4Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 5Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.  6And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.  8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. 9For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 10For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. 11But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
