The Daily Devo 📆 with Adam Burton9 Joulu 2019

Daily Devo 12/09/19

Today is Monday, December 9, 2019 and here is your Daily Devo.

Without humility, we might read this passage like the Pharisee who went to the temple to pray just to thank God that he was not as sinful as those around him (Luke 18:11). Instead, when we read about Nebuchadnezzar, we should recognize our pride and humble ourselves as a result.

Of course, as with Nebuchadnezzar, the Lord is not eager for us to perish but desires for our repentance (2 Pet. 3:9). In fact, according to this account, our heavenly Father is aggressively patient as He actively shows kindness to us. In the end, His efforts to bring us low demonstrates His passion to lift us high as His own. While counterintuitive for most people, the door posts of humility and repentance mark the entrance into the kingdom of heaven. Our humiliation, wrought either by self-awareness or divine disclosure, will always precede our exaltation.

Think about this: Why do you think our culture seems to support and value pride? Why do you think God has designed the world in such a way that the humble will be exalted and the proud will be brought low?
