Sinful men focus on their wants and wishes. Saints focus upon serving God and their fellowman. Pride is often reflected in the eyes (Proverbs 21:4; Isaiah 37:21-23), so also is humility (Ezra 9:5-6; Luke 18:9-14). >Z>Lower Your Sights SWhen tempted to glory in our possessions or preeminence, we must lower our sights. Regarding Possessions5Material abundance is not an accurate measure of success (Luke 12:13-21). The love of money supplants contentment, suborns faith, and is the root of all sorts of evil (1 Timothy 6:6-10). Let us trust, not in uncertain riches, but in God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17-19). 41  Regarding Preeminence Public acclaim is not a true measure of greatness (Matthew 23:1-12). Preening for preeminence only creates conflict (3 John 9-15). Recognizing the destructiveness of pride, let us cultivate a humble and childlike disposition (Matthew 18:1-6).  Raise Your Vision OWe must also raise our vision, recognizing the value of sacrifice and service.  Regarding Sacrifice We must present our bodies as a living and holy sacrifice (Romans 12:1-2). Christian faith is evidenced by sacrifice and service (Philippians 2:14-18). Therefore, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God (Hebrews 13:15-16).JK7 I   Regarding Service Greatness is manifested in service (Luke 22:24-27). Each must humbly labor for the betterment of the whole (Romans 12:3-13). Let us seek, not our own personal interests, but also the interests of others (Philippians 2:1-4).4    ConclusionGod stands in judgment of human pride (Proverbs 29:23). Let us trust, not in our own ability or accomplishments, but in the power of God (Isaiah 40:27-31).  ` fffff` ?̙ffE` ff333` C3ff3` &u3` ffff` **@fff̙fl` +3[Xd` 333f` 5D`|f>?" dd@*?lPd@ `F `A@`<``( n?" dd@   @@``PP   @ ` `.p>>   H:(  HT ``` H "```" H BԅG p"P`` 20xB H C օBCE6FGIQSTUV.WX@` B C "`` 00hB H s *DԔ" H 0م "{4<$0  T Click to edit Master title style! !P H 0p܅ "<$0  RClick to edit Master text styles Second level Third level Fourth level Fifth level!
