A daily email devotional I get has me thinking about pride this morning. The issue of pride dovetails well with the issue of motives we talked about at Cory Metzgers bible study in Topeka on Saturday morning (see previous post).
If you're anything like me, you struggle with pride - with esteeming yourself more highly than you ought. It's sad, often even spiritual gifts can make us proud. Satan loves to whisper in our ear about how "great of a deed" that was. He loves it when, even in our minds, we cease to give glory to God.
Here's some practical advice I read about keeping the proper perspective: How many of you were slightly grossed out at the picture of the termite? That's how we deserve to be viewed by God, but somehow, in His divinity, He loves us unconditionally.
