Personal Revival: The destructive power of pride

Pride can be a destructive force.  It can give us the confidence we need to do things we never thought possible and it can also lead us down a path of total destruction.

When I think about the destructive power of pride, I remembered the story of the Titanic.  Thought to be the greatest ship of its era.  The unsinkable ship.  Because of the that pride, they misunderstood the power of an iceberg.  The unsinkable ship now lies on the ocean floor.  That is the exact destructive power of pride.

God knows the destructive power of pride and does His best to communicate to us our need of His leadership in our lives.  He knows that we can choose to live our own lives with pride but He also knows that it will come to a terrible end. Or we can surrender our lives to Him, to His guidance and find what we need, to do the things we never thought possible.

Is pride getting in your way with your relationship with God?  If it is, it will end like the Titanic. 

Why not come to God in humility and submit your thoughts, words and actions to Him right now?

Read James 4:6-10 ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+4%3A6-10&version=NIV)

Today is the day to humble your life before God and find what you need, in order to stay afloat in this life!
