Daily Devo 01/06/20

Today is Monday, January 6, 2020 and here is your Daily Devo.

Edom believed they were untouchable, but their arrogance deceived them. This is the most dangerous aspect of arrogance. When our arrogance consumes us, we become blind to reality. Think about the saying, “Don’t believe your own hype.” There is much wisdom in this that speaks directly to the dangers of ego and arrogance. Praise—even well-deserved praise—is intoxicating, and we can lose ourselves in it. When we ignore the wisdom that comes from constructive criticism, we risk only seeing what we want to see, not what is.

This is why friendship is so necessary for believers. We need people who know us well enough that they will not only build us up with encouragement, but will keep us grounded as well. “The wounds of a friend are trustworthy, but the kisses of an enemy are excessive” (Prov. 27:6). If we lack people in our lives who will tell us the truth in love, then we are headed for disaster.

Think about this: What does this account teach us about the dangers of being arrogant? How easy is it for you to receive criticism? Would you rather receive criticism from someone who knows you well, or from someone that doesn’t? Why?
