Humility--Part 2

Proverbs 6:16-19--¹⁶ There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
¹⁷ haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
¹⁸ a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
¹⁹ a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community."

The Lord hates a proud look (haughty eyes)--when we overestimate ourselves and underestimate others.

Know what you're good at and what you're not good at.  Quit wasting time trying to prove something you're never going to prove.

Everything doesn't have to be comfortable.  Sometimes we need to make sacrifices.

**You are not FREE until you get to the point where you have nothing to prove and you are not trying to impress anybody!**

**If you know your heart and know who you are in God, you're good." :)**

2 Corinthians 1:8-9--"⁸ We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. ⁹ Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead."

2 Corinthians 12:7-9--"⁷ or because of these surpassing great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. ⁸ Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. ⁹ But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me."

We as humans prefer to be independent and self-sufficient.

Job 10:16--"If I hold my head high, you stalk me like a lion
and again display your awesome power against me."

Job 33:16-17--"he may speak in their ears
and terrify them with warnings,
¹⁷ to turn them from wrongdoing
and keep them from pride"
