PROVERBS 16:18 NIV 18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Pride is deadly. But instead of warning us the world encourages pride in every way. What is pride? Pride is faith in yourself, instead of faith in God. The root of pride is selfishness: putting yourself first. Thinking you are the most important. Thinking you know the most. Thinking you deserve better than someone else. Pride will cause you to go your own way instead of God’s way. Pride makes you think you do not need God’s advice or help. Pride is the root of all sin. It causes you to turn away from God instead of turning to Him. All disobedience has pride as its root. All rebellion has pride behind it. All mistreatment of other people is caused by pride: putting yourself and your feelings above the other person and their feelings. The world system promotes people who are proud, and often gives them great riches. Jesus said pride is evil and defiles a person. (Mark 7:21-23) While the world may

PHILIPPIANS 3:14 KJV 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. What will really matter at the end of your life on earth? Will what you are giving attention to now still be important then? Or, will you be filled with regret for what you did – or didn’t do? Distractions abound. TV, phone calls, web sites, books, movies. It might be a good idea to stop and evaluate how you are investing your time. 1 CORINTHIANS 9:24 NIV 24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Run to win. Win what? The true prize is to know God intimately and be His friend. 2 CORINTHIANS 4:18 NIV 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. One day, possibly soon, you will stand before God. Why not order your life now based on that “final reckoning?” A wise person would not invest everything in something te

LUKE 12:7 ICB 7 Yes, God even knows how many hairs you have on your head. Don’t be afraid. You are worth much more than many sparrows. Jesus gave us some insight on how much God is interested in us as humans. God provides for sparrows, and you are MUCH more valuable to God than any sparrow. Valuable enough to monitor every detail about you – even your current hair-count. However God obtains your current hair-count – He does know it. “Why would God waste His time with such useless information?” you may wonder. The point, which so many miss, is simply that God is interested in every detail of your life. Everything. Nothing concerning you is too small to bother God. You are the “apple of His eye” just as any young child is the delight of a good parent. So don’t try to hide from God. Don’t shut Him out of your life. Involve Him in every detail of your day. Talk things over with Him. Ask His advice. Tell Him what you think, and ask for His opinion. And do not fear. The God Who loves yo

2 TIMOTHY 1:9 NKJ 9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, You have a purpose in life, a job to do, a mission to fulfill. You are here for a reason. What is it? Ask God. He knows. EPHESIANS 1:11 NIV 11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, Of course, I can only answer that question in general terms. If you are a parent, raising your child is important. Helping a friend is important. You never know how your actions may affect the world – even through helping just one person. Don’t just wait around for some “big purpose” – for with God all the details are important – even the “small” ones. If you don’t know your purpose, just do whatever you can to help the people around you. Through that, and walking with God, you will accomplish
