When Pride Leads to Humility

Reflect

Arrogance and self-promotion are very human, which means we all have fallen into those traps. But humility is the path we should be on. Can you see it from where you are standing?


Pray

Forgiving and patient God,
Too often I want to puff my chest
and show the world
how smart I am,
how much I have,
what all I can do.
But then I remember:
I am because of you.
If the human family
is a tree,
I am one branch of many.
No bigger, no better.
Amen.


Act

When you feel the need to flex, quiet your heart for a moment and remember that humility is golden.
