Observation: we ought not think higher of ourselves than we actually are.
Application: The flesh desires power, pride, self reliance, self praise, recognition from others, and to be the center of attention. This is from Satan, who himself sought these same things for himself and was cast out of Heaven. Everything that we have, possessions, talents, gifts, etc. come from God and are to be used to glorify God, not ourselves. Seek to honor God alone and avoid the deception of the enemy.
Prayer: Daddy, the fight for humility is so hard and we/I need Your help. Thank You for how You have gifted each of us. I pray that You would give us the stregnth and courage to use our gifts to lift Your name high among this world, giving You the glory, honor, and praise...no matter the cost. Amen.
