[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] God Resists the Proud by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

When the mighty fall, the fall is mighty. One minute King Nebuchadnezzar
was on the cover of *Time *magazine. The next, he was banished like a
creature and munching on grass. We are left with a lesson: God hates pride.

God resists the proud because the proud resist God. Arrogance stiffens the
knee so it will not kneel, hardens the heart so it will not admit to sin.
The heart of pride never confesses, never repents, never feels the need for
forgiveness. Pride not only prevents reconciliation with God; it prevents
reconciliation with people. How many apologies have gone unoffered due to
the lack of humility?

Pride comes at a high price, my friend. Don’t pay it. Choose instead to
stand on the offer of grace. “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the
humble” (1 Peter 5:5 NKJV).
