Title: Bigger Plan
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. – Proverbs 16:18
The story of Peter when Jesus was arrested is a prime example of pridefully standing your ground even when you’re wrong. We read Peter repeatedly let pride get out in front of him, but this one instance was exceptional. At first, when you read about him taking the ear off the Roman soldier, it seemed he was doing the noble thing, but he was trying to help God. God doesn’t need any help. Jesus could have called on the angels, and the soldiers wouldn’t have stood a chance. There was a bigger plan at play.
So many times, I think God needs my help, not thinking there is a bigger plan.
If you’re hung up on anything because of pride, let it go, don’t let pride win, or it could cost you dearly, and we miss the bigger plan.
Real Men Swallow the pride.
