6 Guidelines For Life: Mind Your Ego #RTTBROS #Nightlight Mind Your Ego Proverbs 16:18 - "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." When blessings flow abundantly, our hearts can subtly shift from gratitude to pride. Recently, as successes multiplied in my life, I caught myself speaking more of my achievements than God's grace. Like Nebuchadnezzar walking upon his palace roof, declaring "Is not this great Babylon, that I have built?" (Daniel 4:30), I too was forgetting the true source of my prosperity. How easily we forget Paul's sobering question: "For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?" (1 Corinthians 4:7). Every blessing, every gift, every success flows from God's generous hand, yet pride whispers that we are self-made. Moses warned Israel of this very danger in Deuteronomy 8:17-18: "And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth." Prosperity's true test lies not in its acquisition but in maintaining humility amidst abundance. James reminds us that "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights" (James 1:17). When blessings multiply, may we multiply our thanksgiving rather than our boasting. For the truly blessed soul remembers to kneel lower as God lifts higher. Prayer: Heavenly Father, as thou pourest out thy blessings, keep our hearts humble and grateful. May we never forget that every good gift comes from thy hand, and may our successes draw us closer to thee rather than away. In Jesus' name, Amen.
