Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before stumbling.
It is better to be humble in spirit with the lowly than to divide the spoil with the proud. Proverbs 16:18-19
Pride is a killer. When pride walks on, God walks off. A Christian is humble in spirit. Jesus was too. Remember what He said of Himself? ‘Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart.’ Matthew 11:29. Paul says godly living comes from being humble in spirit. 1 Peter 3:8
Am I humble in spirit? Are there any ways that I am trying to ‘puff myself up’?
Lord Jesus, again it is clear to me that You are so counter-culture. Help me walk in humility with the lowly. Looking forward to an awesome day of just doing the things You put before me on this day off.
