Scripture:
The Sovereign Lord has sworn by Himself – the Lord God Almighty declares: I abhor the pride of Jacob and detest his fortresses; I will deliver up the city and everything in it.”
– Amos 6:8
If we think that God just frowns on our pride, we are grossly mistaken. Pride is an offense to God. He abhors it. It is the root sin of all that is evil, and God does not tolerate it. If we want to follow God, we must abhor the sin of pride and work to rid it from our lives.
Prayer: Ask God to help you become aware of your pride and confess it each time to Him. Pursue humility. Ask the Holy Spirit to rid you of pride and grow the character of humility in you.
Petition: For God to break the sin of pride within our church. For God to humble each of us so that we may discern the moving of God’s Spirit and our next steps.
