Pride goes before destruction, And
a haughty spirit before a fall. Better
to be of a humble spirit with the
lowly, Than to divide the spoil with
the proud.
( Proverbs 16:18-19 *NKJV )
Dear Addison,
Destructive pride can be a major stumbling block in your
Christian walk! We are as God's Children to be of a humble
spirit. For it is written; "God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble."
( 1 Peter 5:5 ) It is also written; For this is what
the high and lofty One says he who lives
forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a
high and holy place, but also with him who
is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive
the spirit of the lowly and to revive the
heart of the contrite. ( Isaiah 57:15 )
Now our Savior Jesus Christ, speaking of entering the
Kingdom of Heaven said; Indeed there are those
who are last who will be first, and first who
will be last." ( Luke 13:30 ) Also Jesus' brother
wrote; He gives more grace. Therefore He
says: "God resists the proud, But gives
grace to the humble." ( James 4:6 )
So Addison, Therefore humble your-
selves under the mighty hand of God, that
He may exalt you in due time, casting all
your care upon Him,for He cares for you.
Amen. ( 1 Peter 5:6-7 )
All My Love & Prayers,
Pastor Allen
