Dont Have an Exaggerated Opinion of Yourself The Bible repeatedly warns us against pride. And I cannot emphasize enough the danger of pride. See, when we give in to pride, we give the enemy a place of great influence over us. When we think too highly of ourselves, it causes us to value others less, forget to trust God, and ignore the truth that were really nothing without God. This type of attitude or thinking is detestable to the Lord. We must have a holy fear of pride and remember that were special and valuable because God loves us and has forgiven us, not because we can accomplish great things on our own. Its important to understand that whenever we excel in any area, it is only because God has given us the gift of grace to do it. The moment we think weve accomplished great things in our own strength, were getting in to pride. Remember, we belong to God. Instead of having exaggerated opinions of ourselves, lets focus on Gods greatness and His love for us. Its by His grace alone that we can succeed in doing whatever Hes calling us to do. Prayer Starter: Lord, only through You am I worth anything and able to accomplish anything. I release any pride I may be holding on to, knowing that when I succeed and excel, its because of Your grace and goodness.
