Pride

Please read Luke 18:9-14

Would you be willing to take a few minutes to meditate on today's scripture? Here's what I'm thinking when I say "meditate":

1. Think about it - about what it means, about how it applies to you
2. Pray about it - God, why did you want me to read this in your Word today? Where has pride crept into my attitudes? How is my pride affecting those around me in ways that I haven't seen before? How is my pride affecting my relationship with You, God?


"It is pride which has been the chief cause of misery in every nation and every family since the world began. " - C.S. Lewis

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time." 1 Peter 5:6

" Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death- even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest plae and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. " Philippians 2:5-11
