In the Last Days, Perilous Times Will Come [A Study of 2nd Timothy 3:1-5]ናሙና

Day 17 - Haughty

To be haughty is to be lifted up with pride or to be inflated with self-conceit. That is manifested most often by people who draw their fulfilment in life from their achievements and possessions. Meanwhile, Jesus said in Luke 12:15 that,

“… Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”

The eternal life of God in you isn’t measured in quantities or by the things you own. So, the moment you start drawing fulfilment from these earthly things, you will speak haughtily to people who don’t live by your standards.

But please understand that life is in phases. And each person’s life trajectory is known by the ancient One - God. Do not force your way of life on others. Be loving and patient enough to see others grow in their faith journey with the Lord.
