“And I, the Lord… will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease…” Isaiah 13:11
As humans we need to
be constantly on guard against the temptations of becoming prideful and
arrogant by regularly staying in the Word of God and being in constant prayer
and devotion with the Lord, both of which lead to more of His wisdom, knowledge
and strength. However, if we refuse to refrain from being arrogant and prideful, then there is no doubt that God will put an end
to our ungodly mannerisms in His way, and friends, life won’t be fun; 'humbled' will be a gentle
way of describing the events that will undoubtedly take place in our near futures.
Therefore, stay gentle, be loving and compassionate, and never forget who is in control. Instead of fighting back in arrogance and
pride, fight back with the strength found in God and in His Word, and you will
always come out on top of any, and all, circumstances that happen to you in life.
