The Pride Before the Fall

Have you ever felt a surge of pride because you had it all together? You know, your brain and talent and charm was just dazzling to the whole world?

 

It sounds funny, but let’s be honest. We’ve all at some point thought quite a lot of our own abilities. Pride—something God hates—trips us up. We are flying high.

 

Then the crash comes.

 

Our theme this week is “All Together,” and we explore what Scripture tells us about the Source of our lives.

 

Philippians 4:19 says, “But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

 

Are you hurting today because you didn’t anticipate some obstacle? Were you a little smug in how you could handle challenges? Then tell God! Just humble yourself and ask Him to make you whole. You might not have it all together, but He does!

 

Let’s pray. Lord, you are a fortress of strength for each of us, especially when we mess up. We are grateful for your mercy and grace. Amen.

 

Are you thirsty for more biblical encouragement in your day?
