Pursue humility

*RESTORATION TODAY – TACN PRODUCTION*

*MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2024.*

*TOPIC: PURSUE HUMILITY*

_*”I hate pride and arrogance.” Proverbs 8:13.*_

*MESSAGE*

God doesn’t dislike arrogance…He hates it. Could He state it any clearer than Proverbs 8:13: “I hate pride and arrogance.” And then a few chapters later it says God can’t stomach arrogance or pretence. Believe me, he’ll put the proud in their place. You don’t want God to do that. It’s far wiser to descend the mountain than fall from it!

Pursue humility. Humility doesn’t mean you think less of yourself but that you think of yourself less. Paul described it in *Romans 12:3 NCV, “Don’t cherish exaggerated ideas of yourself or your importance, but try to have a sane estimate of your capabilities by the light of the faith that God has given to you.”*

God has a cure for the proud: come down from the mountain before He employs it. You’ll be amazed by what you hear and who you see. And you’ll breathe a whole lot easier!

*ACTION POINTS*

Are you proud? Pursue humility.

*SCRIPTURES*

Romans 12:3;

*PRAYER POINTS*

1. Father, thank You for this call to humility in the name of Jesus;

3. Lord, restore humility unto me in the name of Jesus.
