First pride, then the crash—
the bigger the ego, the harder the fall.
MARK 7:20 (CEB)
“It’s what comes out of a person that contaminates someone in God’s sight,” he said.
THE ESSENCE
Arrogance crashes our lives and our relationship with God.
DAILY FODDER
Do you think arrogant people are self-aware of their arrogance? How do we grow in awareness of unhealthy attitudes and actions that are so much a part of who we are that we can't recognize how they flaw us?
PRAYER
My dear Lord, I need a home makeover within my own heart. My private closets of pride and inner rooms of selfishness need cleaning and reordering. Thank you for helping me to see my true inner condition. I surrender to your correction so that my private world will be reflected to the the public world where you can use me. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
