A Secret Enemy
There is a silent enemy that threatens every leader, every church, and indeed everybody. And enemy that I’m sure everyone reading this is familiar with. I have fallen victim to this enemy many times and found pain at the end of its sword.
Pride.
Pride causes us to look at every quiet conversation as if it is a conspiracy. Pride would have us to believe that every change and decision is about us. Pride would love nothing more than to lead us to believe that we somehow deserve anything that we have.
But humility teaches that if our security is in God, then the conversations of others should never threaten us. Humility declares that change, even IF it seems like it is about us, ultimately isn’t about us.
Humility reminds us that it isn’t about us and we don’t deserve anything that we have.
Our spouse
Our house
Our job
Our position
All of it is God’s
It’s my prayer that God keeps me humble. No matter what that means. That pride would be ripped from my life, even if painfully.
What about you? How do you fight the secret enemy of pride?
