With God we rise ~ With Pride we fall.

The haughty will fall

"You save the humble but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low."

2 Samuel 22:28

Synonyms of Haughty:

proud, arrogant, vain, conceited, snobbish, superior, self-important, pompous, condescending, patronizing... Any of these words describe you?  If so, I highly suggest to open yourself up for change.  If you don't, the bottom of another's foot will be stomping the top of your head. It won't be pretty.

Sin is no longer in control

"Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires.  Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin.  Instead, give yourselves completely to God... Use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.  Sin is no longer your master."

Romans 6:12-14 NLT

From the top of your head to the bottom of your feet - inside and out - you are made for God's glory.  Therefore, break the chains of sin that are holding you bondage to darkness and begin to treat yourself as God's glorious child; live in freedom and live a life that shines brightly before all men. 

Climb up the mountain before you

“Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go up this mountain in the Avarim range and see the land I have given the Israelites.”

Numbers 27:12

Don’t back down at the “mountains” in front of you!  Face them, climb them... yes, work your fanny off to conquer them - you can do it!  For when you get to the top of each one you will see the glory of God before you and you will attain the many amazing blessings that God has waiting for you. 

Step aside

"Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top.  Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead.  Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage.  Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand." 

-Philippians 2:1-4 MSG

Step aside, put your ego below your feet, let those around you go ahead... for in doing so, your time will come, and it will be much greater than you could ever think, want, or hope for.  

As well, remember the fine, truth-filled, words: Those who are first will be last and those who are last will be first (Matthew 19:30).
