God Opposes the Proud, But Gives Grace to the Humble (Proverbs 6)
Throughout Scripture, God makes it clear he opposes those who think highly of themselves. Let me encourage you to remain humble before the Lord for you will be lifted up and granted mercy. But don't stop there. Be humble about who you are with others. Instead of looking out for yourself look out for them. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit says Philippians 2. But in humility count others more significant than yourselves. If everyone in your family lived that way...That would be great!

Ron: Throughout Scripture, God makes it clear that he will oppose and bring low those who think highly of themselves. So let me encourage you today to remain humble before the Lord for you will be lifted up and granted mercy. But don’t stop there.
Be humble about who you are with others. Instead of looking out for yourself look out for them. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit says Philippians 2 in the Bible. But in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Now just think. If everyone in your family lived that way…Wow! Now that would be great. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
