my pride

Posted May 11th, 2009 by misterlib

isaiah 25:11-12

Thrash away as they will, like swimmers trying to stay afloat, they’ll sink in the sewage. Their pride will pull them under. Their famous fortifications will crumble to nothing, those mighty walls reduced to dust.

sometimes, this is how i feel.  the whole first sentence. like it is taking everything i’ve got just to stay afloat.  just not to sink into the sewage.  and the thing that is causing me to sink, the thing that will pull me under is pride.  it’s so dangerous.  i’ve treated pride as if it’s not a good thing, but honestly, i’ve never felt like it would end me.  thank YOU for showing me that pride will do exactly that.  it will end me.  search my heart and find anywhere that i take credit, that i boast or revel in praise.  it’s not mine.  it’s YOURS.  nothing good will come of it for me.  the feel good moments are fake and fleeting, and they can’t compare with YOU.
