Some people talk of how humble they are; but a lighthouse does not have a trumpet blown, it is its own witness. - D.L. Moody
A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. Proverbs 29:23
Although Alexander the Great reigned a short twelve years, he conquered 22 million square miles and Hellenized the conquered nations. During this time of victory, Alexander began to think he was a god never giving God the glory for the victories he enjoyed. I believe he began to think he was invincible, never being satisfied with what God had accomplished, and thereby it became his downfall dying at a young age of 32.
Are you building something for yourself but leaving the Lord out of it? Are you celebrating victories God has given but you are claiming them for yourself? Be reminded this morning that greater men and women such as yourself have come tumbling down because of pride. But those who have continually given God the Glory for their life, God has honored.
