What Does God Want From You?
By Mark Flippo
Luke 18
9-And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10-Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.11-The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men [are], extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12-I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13-And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as [his] eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14-I tell you, this man went down to his house justified [rather] than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted
This is an example of a humble man and a prideful man! God will honor true humility! A prideful man will God despise! He has given us other examples of how much He Loves humility! Can you think of others? Jesus Himself showed us in how He lived in humility! What God shows is important never look down your nose on it! We could all use a healthy dose of humble pie!
