We Need to be Humbled

Scripture Isaiah 5:15 People shall be brought down, Each man shall be humbled, And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled.

Observation: There is so much pride in our culture we are even proud of the sins we commit. We are surrounded by the media that tells us to be proud of who we are no matter what, even gay pride. Self-pride in our culture is the answer, but as long as we seek to be prideful we can’t see our mistakes and turn from our evil ways. We don’t improve or grow closer to God because we feel proud of the people we are turning into, even if it is the worst of sinners.

Application: God has blessed me with gifts and talents that are to be used for His glory, not mine. I need to give glory to God in all things and use whatever ability I have for His purpose and not mine. I need to be that humble servant not only to my Lord but to others to help point them to the way of my Savior.

Prayer: My Lord humble your servant before you and give me the strength to carry on. Guide me each morning and what you desire of me and that I will fulfill that calling in glory and honor to you.
