The other week I shared some about how God convicted me of pride. Some of the generic (easy to do). Yet, pride is so easy to talk about struggling with it can be annoying to hear someone claim they struggle with it - or maybe I'm alone in that. Regardless, here's some of the ways God revealed pride creeping into my life:
- In my relationship with Magnus. Specifically in regards to picking fights. I was being selfish and self-centered on my needs and not considering him (Phil. 2:3-4)... and then getting annoyed at him for not thinking the same way.
- In my leadership. I was failing to pray and invite God personally into the meetings and was not relying on the Spirit at meetings. I relied on my past experience to carry me through and failed to recognize that God may still want to convict and grow me through my remaining time as a leader.
- In my times with Jesus. Yikes. God slowly drew me back to the Word where he reminded me that it is important to NOT ONLY talk with him daily, but to be in his Word daily. Without truth being breathed into me I start seeing as the world sees. I was proud in heart to believe that I did not need truth.
So those are my areas (for now). I know you have them too. By God's grace He will continue to pursue and convict us, and may we be repentant and sensitive to His Spirit.
