Have you ever told God "No"? Have you ever ignored God's prompting in your life? Have you ever known what direction or action God is calling you to take... but gone the opposite way or flat out refused to obey?
You probably have. We all at some point have. Maybe you are well versed in telling God "no"... maybe not. But think about it like this... Who am I, to think that I am RIGHT and God is WRONG? Who am I, to tell God "no"?
What is it that has to be in me... in order to think I can puff up my chest and brazenly challenge the Creator of the universe, the Almighty God... the Great I Am? It's PRIDE.
Our passage today in James says that God OPPOSES the proud. So when I allow pride in my life... I am flirting with disaster as I find myself on the losing end of the field... with God as my opponent. There's an opponent you do NOT want. There is a fight you cannot win. Listen to today's message and see how you can replace this sin called pride with the antidote... called humility. (Yes, God opposes the proud... but He gives GRACE to the humble!)
