Wednesday’s Devotion – Oh Those Egos!



Proverbs 18:12  Pride comes before a disaster, but humility comes before respect.

It’s told that after spending an hour one morning admiring herself in the mirror a woman confessed that to her pastor. “Do you think this is a sin of pride?’’ she asked.  Being rather blunt, he responded, “No, it’s a sin of imagination.”   Some people think too highly of themselves and others think to little of themselves.  Whether we wake each day with an inflated or deflated ego we really are who we are. Scripture tells us that the Divine shows no partiality. See Acts 10:34-35 and Luke 20:21. Let’s recognize that God blesses each of us uniquely. Boldly take that and soar into the future with it.

Father God, how wonderful it is to think that you love us just as much as the person we envy the most. Remind us that you also love us just as much as the person we regard the least. We asked in the name of the one who died for all. Amen.

Love in Christ,
Paige
