21 Days to OverflowSample

Pride
We have made it to the fifth day of emptying us of us. This has not been easy!
How many times has God asked us to do something, and we have either not done it, or we have done it halfway? This is pride. This is us saying, “I am God, and I know what’s best for me in this situation.”
Pride is running rampant in today’s world. Pride in personal prestige, pride in income, pride in ability, pride in family, and so much more. This pride is turning us away from God and making us focus on ourselves and what we can accomplish.
In James 4:6-8, James states that God opposes the proud and shows favor to the humble. We need to humble ourselves in the face of the Lord to receive His favor. When we realize all we have and all we have accomplished is a blessing from the Lord, we have no room for pride.
Proverbs 16:18 adds to the danger of pride by saying it is the precursor to destruction. Pride leads to destruction! If we know this to be true, why do we continue to harbor pride over insignificant things in our lives?
To live an overflowing life, we must rid ourselves of pride. If we want to be Spirit-filled, there is no room for it. Pray and ask the Lord to reveal any hidden pride in your life so you can more fully follow Him.
