Scripture
Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction and haughtiness before a fall.”
Observation
Pride will destroy me and my ministry. It is the enemy of success. Humility is acknowledging my need of God. It is lowering myself and exalting God. I can do nothing apart from God but I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Application
I humble myself before God. I acknowledge my dependence upon Him. I need you. I ask that you fulfill your will through me by your Holy Spirit.
Prayer
Purify me from pride.
Protect me from pride rearing its ugly head.
I humble myself before you.
