TOO HIGH!!!....TIME TO COME DOWN

 (PART ONE)

 

 

 

(Proverbs 16:18)  Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall.

(James 4:10) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

 

         Do you remember the bible encounters about King Nebuchadnezzar, Lucifer, Zacchaeus and Saul (to later become Apostle Paul)? These biblical figures had several things in common. First, they were seen as ones with power and positions. One a king, one who served as the chief archangel/main worshipper once in heaven, one a tax collector and one vying to persecute and arrest any followers of Jesus. Secondly, they had gotten to a place in their position where it didn't matter about others anymore but themselves. They became too high and so indulged in who they were and what they were doing that they forgot about the people and God. Sounds familiar in what is going on right now with our governmental system?

         We can get so engrossed with our own reputation, being prideful and our selfish gain and will allow our positions to take precedence that we can forget all about how it will affect others. Sometimes we can "Get too high, that we have to be brought down." We can get into a state where we think we don't need God. In order for God to get our attention , it is necessary for things to occur to bring us down so we can get back on track.  (Part two of post continues tomorrow).
