Obadiah 1:3 The pride of your heart has deceived you—you who dwell in clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights, who say in your heart, ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’
Pride does that to us, “we” deserve more than what we are compensated for our job. Pride tells us we control everything and no one can tell us what to do because we know it all. One lie leads to another to cover up the first lie.
“Men, deceived by pride of heart, think they are really Christians and truly reconciled to God, while in fact they do not obey God.” (C.G.Finney)
“‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’” God!
God hates a prideful heat and He will eventually show us who is in control!
James 4:6 But He gives us more grace. This is why it says:
“God opposes the proud,
but gives grace to the humble.”
Are you prideful or humble?
Blessings, David
