PRIDE

PRIDE IS A DANGEROUS THING......... THINK ABOUT THE TITANIC HOW THE OWNER SAID NO ONE CAN SINK THIS SHIP NOT EVEN GOD...HA!! HA!!! THEY WERE WRONG. THEN THINK ABOUT THE TOWER OF BABEL HOW THESE PRIDEFUL PEOPLE THOUGHT THEY COULD BUILD A TOWER TO REACH HEAVEN HA!! HA!!! THEN WHAT DID GOD DO HE CONFUSED THEIR LANGUAGE SO THAT THEY COULDN'T UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO CONTINUE THEIR WORK.
GOD ALLOWS US TO DO THINGS EVEN THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE. IT IS ONLY THOUGH HUMILITY AS WE APPROACH GOD, AND BY THE LOVE OF GOD THAT HE GRACES US TO PARTICIPATE IN HIS WORK. SO YOU SEE I'M REALLY NOT DOING ANY OF THE WORK, I AM JUST GRATEFUL SERVANT THAT GOD CAN USE TO WORK A BLESSING IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS. WHICH GOD HAS OPENED MY EYES TO IS ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING I DO SHOULD BE FOR THE FAME OF HIS GLORY AND NOT FOR THE FAME OF OTHERS. IF I AM SEEKING FOR PRAISES FROM EARTHLY INDIVIDUALS THEN I'M DOING IT FOR THE WRONG REASON. DO NOT LET PRIDE STAND IN YOUR WAY OF SERVING THE LORD, AND DOING WHAT IS BEST IN JESUS NAME. ITS ONLY WHEN I REALIZE THAT I AM TOTALLY DEPENDENT OF GOD FOR EVERYTHING AND HOW MUCH I NEED HIM, THAT PRIDE IN MYSELF WILL FADE AWAY, AND I CAN HAVE COMMUNION AND FELLOWSHIP WITH THE FATHER OUT OF A HUMBLE HEART OF THANKFULNESS.
JAMES 4:10 HUMBLE YOURSELF IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD, AND HE SHALL LIFT YOU UP.
