FamilyLife Blended® with Ron L. Deal
God Opposes the Proud But Gives Grace to the Humble (Proverbs 6)
There are seven things the Lord hates says Proverbs 6. And the first thing on the list is a proud heart.
Throughout Scripture, God makes it clear he opposes those who think highly of themselves. Let me encourage you to remain humble before the Lord for you will be lifted up and granted mercy. But don’t stop there. Be humble about who you are with others. Instead of looking out for yourself look out for them. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit says Philippians 2. But in humility count others more significant than yourselves. If everyone in your family lived that way...That would be great!
