Pray this Lazaroo in aware humility:

“The arrogance of man will be brought low and human pride humbled…”
(Isaiah 2:17)

Why do we get like that, Jesus?

It’s because of the generosity of Your blessings, isn’t it?

You load us up with good things

but instead of being humbly grateful to You
we act like we’ve done it ourselves.

Attractive people act like they self-designed their genes.
Talented people act like they gave themselves their abilities.

No wonder You have to take us down a notch!

Pray this Lazaroo in growing wisdom:

“…human pride brought low…”
(Isaiah 2:11)

There’s a kind of pride that is good, wholesome, healthy, Jesus.

It’s being proud of You.
It’s being proud of what You do.
It’s being proud of what You enable others to do.

But human pride takes no notice of You.

Human pride puffs itself up
boasting that all its achievements come from itself.

Godly pride points to the heavens to acknowledge You.

Human pride pounds on its own chest

until it collapses.
