I've been repeatedly buffeted by the challenges of my pride. I was primarily waylaid in a 1-hour session on Monday entitled "Practical Strategies for Killing Pride" by Pastor Brad Bigney.
I learned that the word "opposes" in James 4:6- "God opposes the proud"- is a term describing an army in full array, advancing on an enemy. That is the degree to which God opposes our, my, pride. And He must, for to be proud is to contend for supremacy with the Supreme God.
I agree with Pastor Bigney that "I've never had a single day where I needed something like that going on." I am so dependent upon His supply of grace, I pray I do not need more corrective military action against my pride.
