SHAMEFUL SELF-IMPORTANCE “A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.” (Proverbs 29:23) There was a story of a young military officer, a colonel, who was just posted to a new station. This was at a time when mobile phone was not available and those who had telephones at all used only land lines. On resuming, the man wanted everyone around to know that he was well connected, and he used to blow his own trumpet. One day he was in his office and he heard a knock on the door. As soon as he invited the visitor to come in, he swiftly lifted the receiver from the cradle and started to talk. “Hello…, Oh General…, yes sir. I have heard sir. I will see you in the evening, sir.” He dropped the receiver and looked at the Sergeant standing before him pompously. “That was the GOC. Yes, serge, what can I do for you?” “I came to connect your telephone sir!” replied the Sergeant. Pride will ultimately bring someone low. Pride, in most cases, is a symptom of a weak personality. As you go out today, prove your life, check your ways and make sure your words. Challenge: Pride is a symptom one is of weak character. Prayer: Help me Lord to walk in humility.
