Bible Verse of The Day – 1-28-19

Proverbs 11:2 (NKJV) 2 When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.

We can all relate to being prideful at times and then having something take place that puts us right back where we belong. Sometimes it is a hard, painful fall.

Even though we may not like it or want it to happen, it sure does help us in the long run. If we allow the process to work itself out, we will come out humble, with a lot of wisdom.

Don’t be upset if things don’t work out for us when we are walking around all prideful and full of ourselves. Shame is bound to follow this kind of behavior and it is no one’s fault but our own.

Sometimes all it takes is to listen to those little promptings we get now and then. But, if we are on a roll doing what we want, we will often overlook them and continue to carry on down that road that will soon lead to shame.

If we could do one thing that will help us remain humble it would be to make sure we examine ourselves from time to time, keeping an eye on our attitude toward life and the people around us. It will usually show up pretty clearly in those areas first.

If we spot it, simply repent. Ask God to forgive us for our arrogant ways and to help us get back on track in doing what is good.

Philippians 1:6 (NKJV) 6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ…

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-20-18

1 Samuel 2:3 (NKJV) 3 “Talk no more so very proudly; Let no arrogance come from your mouth, For the Lord is the God of knowledge; And by Him actions are weighed.

Arrogance is one of the worst traits we can exhibit. It isn’t pretty, attractive or impressive. It is quite the opposite.

Arrogance will land us in trouble. Oh, we may get away with it for a season or two. But it will eventually come back to bite us in one way or another.

God doesn’t want us to be arrogant. Arrogance stems from pride.

Arrogance: Excessive pride or self-confidence.

And here’s what God says about pride.

James 4:6 (NKJV) 6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”

Let’s check ourselves and make sure we’re not being arrogant in any way. And if we are, let’s surrender it to God and let Him show us how to correct it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-13-17

Proverbs 16:18 (NKJV) 18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. 

Pride will be the downfall of even the most well-intentioned people, including God’s people. 

Sadly, many church leaders become victims of pride. God wants to use some of these men and women to do mighty works. But as they begin to see God’s hand moving in their lives, pride sets in and they end up straying from the path that God had set before them. 

It’s important that we remember that pride was what caused Lucifer, one of God’s highest angels, to fall and be cast from heaven. 

So, if it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. 

We need to be very careful, whether we are laypeople or leaders, not to let pride set in. We need to guard ourselves from pride and arrogance if we want to stay within God’s plan for us and continue to be used by Him. 

How do we tell if we have become prideful? 

Do we love it when people tell us how much they see God using us? 

Do we gloat about the things God is doing through us? 

Do we look down on others in the body of Christ because we feel we are better than them, or more gifted than them? 

Do we get hung up on titles that make us sound distinguished? 

This is just a short list of things we can use to check ourselves. It’s critical that we’re 100% honest about all of them. And we need to let God show us where we’re at with this. 

We encourage everyone to let God give us all a heart examination. Let Him shine His bright, holy light into our hearts and lives and show us where pride may have crept in. And then let Him root it out once and for all. 

We can’t let pride destroy us.
