Any thought you have that is against your design, or against another is a fiery dart. Why do I say that? We are created in the image of God for relationship. Not only with Him but with others.

Philippians 2:3 says, “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.”

Pride is destructive. Humility is life-giving. James 4:6 says, “…God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

The Lord has a way of humbling us. It is far better for us to humble ourselves. That means to bow our heart down in obedience to His word. Jesus exuded humility. Since we are to represent Him, we must walk in humility. James 4:10 says, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
