“Even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.” 2 Corinthians 12:7 NLT
As we celebrate Easter, it’s important for us to meditate on the life of Christ. One very important thing that we learn from Him is humility. Allowing Himself to die on the cross was a revelation of His humility. The Bible says that He humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. And because of His humility, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave Him the name above all other names.
You will either humble yourself or God will humble you. Ask Nebuchadnezzar what God did to him.
You see people who have achieved so little, it’s nothing really, ascribing glory and honour to themselves, looking down on others, so full of themselves. Resist pride in your life at all cost! I don’t care who you are or what you think you’ve got, stay humble!!!
