Tuesday, August 26: The Danger of Self-Exaltation
Day 2: The Danger of Self-Exaltation
Reading: Psalm 52:1-7; Luke 14:7-11
The psalmist warns against those who "boast of evil" and trust in their own strength or riches. This self-exaltation stands in stark contrast to the humility that God desires. Jesus teaches a similar lesson in Luke, encouraging His followers to take the lowest place rather than seeking honor for themselves.
Examine your heart today. Are there areas where you're tempted to exalt yourself or trust in your own abilities rather than in God? How might embracing humility change your perspective and actions? Ask God to reveal any pride in your life and to help you find your worth and identity in Him alone.
