Pride – A Form of Self-Worship

July 29, 2016: SOAP #2430: Isaiah 57-59; Psalm 103; 2Peter 3

Scripture: Isaiah (NIV) 57:15 For this is what the high and lofty One says—he who lives forever, whose name is holy: “I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.

Observation: God has a heavenly address and an earthly address. In Heaven He lives in an exalted and holy place. On earth, He lives with the lowly and those who acknowledge and confess their sins.

Application: Pride is contrary to the nature of God. Pride is one of the expressions of Satan’s nature. I must be careful to not let pride have a place in my life. Pride is a form of self-worship. And there is only one worthy of worship.

Prayer:   Heavenly Father, you alone are worthy of worship. May I always see my place in thankful humility at your feet.   Amen
