In the first installment of a two-part message, Brother Alan Simmons uses two passages of scripture, Psalm 34:17-18 and Psalm 147:1-8, as the focus of a powerful reminder of the need to praise the Lord and how our pride can often get in the way of our spiritual health. Rather than calling on the Lord when we realize we need His guidance, we usually rely on ourselves. Sometimes it is a lack of faith, but usually it is our sense of pride - the "I don't need anyone's help, I can do this on my own!" Bro. Alan explains that while the Lord desires to deliver us when we find ourselves in these situations, He will not intervene as long as our pride stands in the way.
