Look Up!

“A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.” 

― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“Pride comes before being destroyed and a proud spirit comes before a fall.” 

—Proverbs 16:18 (NLV)

 

I am the very reason for my downfall.

Everybody’s Battle

“A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.”

― C.S. Lewis

“When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.” 

— Proverbs 11:2  

Pride

elevates

us to glory.

It limits

our view

of what

God wants

in our

lives and

desensitizes

us from the

truth which

ultimately

leads to our 

down fall.

 

I Need No Stage

“I long to accomplish a great and noble task,

but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.”

— Helen Keller

People today aim very big with big-time evangelistic concerts and showbiz conferences.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with such events.

However, God is glorified as a simple man accepts a beggar into his home as much as a singer leads 10,000 people in worship.

Let’s not forget that simple acts of service in humility are beautiful events in themselves.

 

me < GOD

“It is my heart’s desire that I must be NO more, that He be KNOWN more.”

– Saheed B. Olalekan

 

You Are Small

“Can you catch the eye of the beautiful Pleiades sisters, 
   or distract Orion from his hunt?
Can you get Venus to look your way, 
   or get the Great Bear and her cubs to come out and play?
Do you know the first thing about the sky’s constellations 
   and how they affect things on Earth?”

Job 38:31-33, The Message

Man thinks he’s so big and powerful,

But the heavens proves him otherwise.
