Good Morning Friends,
“The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all
the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled).”
(Isaiah 2:12)
“The arrogance of man will be brought low and
the pride of men humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day, and the
idols will totally disappear. Men will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes
in the ground from dread of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises
to shake the earth.” (Isaiah 2:17-19)
There is a great deal of arrogance in our
world. People take great pride in what they have accomplished and in who they
are.
Intellectual pride abounds, arrogance at the
things we have discovered, the facts we have learned.
The pride of wealth is widespread in our
country. We live in luxury and think we’ve earned it and that we deserve it.
There is the pride of being independent. We don’t
need anything or anyone. We’ve made it on our own. We can take care of
ourselves.
A day is coming when all pride will be dealt
with and brought low. A day is coming when arrogance will be replaced in an
instant with humility. All splendor and glory will go to one place, it will go
to the Lord.
The Lord is patiently waiting for man to
recognize how much we need Him, how dependent we are upon Him for everything,
for life and all of its gifts.
Learn it now, and be humble before God. There
will come a day when all men, even the most arrogant men you know, will join
you in humility before the Lord.
His, by Grace,
Steve
