Day 29: Pride Goes Before the Fall

 

Day 29: Pride Leads to Dishonor

Read and Meditate on:                    Luke 13: 22 – 14: 14

                                                                  Proverbs 11: 2

                                                                  Proverbs 16: 18

The finish line is in sight.  You now have two choices:

You can pat yourself on the back, post your accomplishment on Facebook and tweet your friends about your new relationship with God; or you can fall on your face in humble awareness of the awesome God that you serve.

      Jesus makes it painfully obvious in His teachings that He will not tolerate those who attempt to exalt themselves.  What you have accomplished in the last 28 days is nothing less than the very least that Christ expects from each of us.  If your motive was or is to seek honor and praise for yourself, then you have missed the entire point.  Don’t let your so-called “accomplishment” blind you from the fact that God desires an intimate relationship with you.  To achieve that, He requires a spirit of humility.  That attitude alone will give you not only wisdom but also a deeper walk with Christ.

      Don’t take your eyes off Jesus!

Supplication:

Father, I know that I am not always humble.  Forgive me.  Help me to exalt You and to have a spirit of humility, recognizing that You are the King of the Universe.  In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.”  St. Francis of Assisi
