Pride

Isaiah 14:12-15

12 How you have fallen from heaven,
O morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!

13 You said in your heart,
"I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,
on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain.

14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High."

15 But you are brought down to the grave,
to the depths of the pit.

Bee's Thoughts:


The above passage shows how satan fell from grace. He was too proud, thinking he could be like God (v14). The bible says, "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall." (Proverbs 16:18). Pride will eventually destroy us if we let it take root in our hearts.

That's why we are constantly reminded to be humble like Christ. He is the best model of humility for us to follow... a mighty God came down to earth to become a man, and to die for sinners on the cross. He went through so much humiliation just because of us. We owe our life and devotion to Him.

Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank You for humbling Yourself for our sake. Thank You for the reminder that pride can cause us to fall. May we be humble just like You, to serve others because of love too. In Your holy name I ask. Amen.
