ANTIDOTE FOR PRIDE

Prov.16.18 - First pride, then the crash--the bigger the ego, the harder the fall. [msb]

1. The revelation and realization of our nothingness without God (John 15:5; 5:30; 2Cor. 3:5-7; 1Cor. 4:7)
Our ability equals nothing without Divine enablement
Anything you can take the credit for, the credit goes to God
2. The revelation of God’s glory through intimacy (Isa. 6:1-5; Rev. 1:13-17)
Anytime we see His Almightiness, we will also see our nothingness.
Camp around God; run away from those who will inflate your head with praise
Camp with God and you kill your pride
When you see His Powerfulness you will see your powerlessness
The more of God we see, the less of self we manifest
Don’t hang around people who give you a bloated head
3. The revelation and realization of who and what you were before God helped you (1Cor. 15:9-10; Eph. 3:8; 1Chron. 29:10-16; Luke 5:8; Rom. 9:16)
The easiest way to reach where you are going is to remember where you are coming from
Shalom
