Let go of pride!  

 

Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD. 

Obadiah 1:4 

 

God detests pride. He oft looks at a proud person as one who has fallen. Pride is a destructive character you must not give any room for in your life. As great and powerful, Lucifer was, He was cut off from the presence of God because of His pride. 

Anyone can be prone to be proud,  however, there is one who is our blueprint to living a life of humility. The person is Jesus Christ, the son of God. He ought to be proud as the son of God but He did not give room for such. He humbled himself and came to be molested, beaten, and died for you and me. Because of what He did and His humbleness, God exalted Him so high that at His name, all things here on earth, in Heaven or hell will bow. Philippians 2:10 “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.” Jesus was exalted because He was humble till He died on the cross. God fulfilled His promise in proverb 29:23 which says “A man's pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.” 

Dear reader, I hope you are blessed today. Give no room for pride in your life but rather make humility your lifestyle. Jesus did lived a humble lifestyle and you can as well live it.

 

Conclusion:

God dishonor the proud. He will only honor the humble minds. Let humility be your lifestyle.
