Pride is a most curious deceiver. The believer who considers himself knowledgeable or quite capable, becomes swollen with soul-power. He fancies himself to see what others do not see and he is always horizontal in his observations. Soldier, he who gazes upon the Lord is a humble man. It is the natural result. Looking at Jesus brings about a transformation, because it is not possible to even glance at Him without seeing some previously undiscovered aspect of His personality and nature. Soul-power always has to prove someone else wrong. It nurses on pride, and the one who sought so hard to be on top, becomes its victim. Be simple. Follow Jesus. |
