Leading Through Challenging Circumstances, Day 29

Pride. Read Daniel 4:29-30.

It doesn’t seem to matter how often God reminds us of the dangers of pride, we all still seem to fall prey to believing that we are more important than we really are. We also fall prey to trying to glorify ourselves instead of glorifying God. God had given king Nebuchadnezzar a warning that this would happen, but it had been 12 months since he had that dream. He had lost sight of what God had told him and had gone back to thinking that he had done all of the great things in his kingdom instead of God. Then one night, while he was walking around his palace, he started bragging about it to anyone who would listen. God had warned him of the dangers of pride and still he fell prey to the temptation.

Are we prideful? Do we end up seeking our own glory instead of the glory of God? God had already shared that because of Nebuchadnezzar’s pride he was going to be humbled by God. What would God need to allow in your life to humble you if you don’t turn and acknowledge him above all.
