Slaying The Giant Of Pride

We all have “the me we cannot see”.

Pride gives you a blind spot in life.

You cannot address what you cannot assess.

It is easy to forget that everything we have and everything we are is because of a gracious and generous God who gives us these things on loan from heaven.

The greatest enemy of tomorrow’s success is today’s success.

Hardship can make us turn to God.
Success can make us turn from God.

I Samuel 13:11-14 (NLT – Excerpts)
Samuel said, “What is this you have done?”

Saul replied, “I saw my men scattering from me, and you didn’t arrive…So I felt compelled to offer the burnt offering myself before you came.”

“How foolish!” Samuel exclaimed. “You have not kept the command the Lord your God gave you. Had you kept it, the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. But now your kingdom must end, for the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart.

Obadiah 1:3 (NIV)
“The pride of your heart has deceived you…”

KEY:
David knew deep down inside, any “success” he had in his life was because of God and not himself.

Matthew 5:3 (NLT)
God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
