Title: Not the Center
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. – Proverbs 16:18 NIV
When I was a teenager and started getting “a little too big for my britches,” my mom used to remind me about the truth of Proverbs 16:18. “Pride comes before the fall,” she would say. And those words have continued to haunt me to this very day, in a good way, of course.
I believe it’s important for us as men to regularly remind ourselves that we are not the center of the universe. There is a God, and I am not Him. My goal is to humbly place myself at Jesus’ feet and trust Him to be the leader of my life. When I put myself on the throne, I inevitably mess things up—BIG TIME.
How could you intentionally place your pride aside today and learn to trust God with one specific area of your life humbly?
