How do you approach your day? What is your attitude? Do you include God’s Holy Spirit’s interactions or do you push Him away and say, “I’ve got this”. This is a very dangerous position or attitude. It’s prideful, and you’re just full of yourself. What does God’s Word say about such an attitude? Proverbs 11:2 NKJV says: “When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.” Shame is defined as personal disgrace and dishonor. To be humble is to be unassuming. Wisdom follows such a person. Then Proverbs 16:18 NKJV says: “Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.” Destruction here implies that one is crushed and ruined. One’s dreams are broken. Proverbs 18:12 NKJV says: “Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, And before honor is humility.” Finally, Proverbs 29:23 NKJV says: “A man’s pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor.” Reflect for a moment. Heed the warnings, or reap the benefit of following scriptures direction. God doesn’t force your hand or demand from you, you get to choose whom you will serve, yourself or yield to God. It is the wise man that seeks after God with his whole heart. Ask yourself, am I full of the Holy Spirit of God, or am I full of myself. Be honest, it’s the only way you will grow as a follower of Jesus Christ. Blessings,
