Today I was brought to read Obadiah. A small book of the Bible and it's interesting. From the first few verses, I figured out that the material would talk about pride and sure enough, it did! I found these 2 quotes interesting. Sharing with you here.

From Charles Haddon Spurgeon in Sermons on Sovereignity, "There are 2 sins of man that are bred in the bone, and that continually come out in the flesh. One is self-dependence and the other is self-exaltation. It is very hard, even for the best of men, to keep themselves from the first error. The holiest of Christians, and those who understand best the gospel of Christ, find in themselves a constant inclination to look to the power of the creature, instead of looking to the power of God and the power of God alone."

What God desires from His people is humility--an attitude of submission and obedience, grounded in the acknowledgment of our true needy status before Him.

Amen.
