Proverbs 25:1-27:27
What God said to me – Pride is a difficult and dangerous thing. To walk through life confident in who you are and not become puffed up is a difficult line to walk. To do so successfully, you must stay very close to Me and constantly acknowledge that you are who you are not because of anything you have done, but because of who “I AM”. One of the things I use to reveal what’s in your heart and to test you is the praise of man. How do you respond to praise? Do you put yourself in positions or do things in order to receive praise and acknowledgement from others? You may say the right things, but what’s in your heart? Are you truly humbled by praise? Do you point to Me as the source of all you are and do? Keep your eyes on Me so you can keep “you” in perspective.
