Paul said we should not THINK more highly of ourselves than we should! Great advice!
Romans 12:3
"For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith."
It's a very slippery slope downward when you start thinking you're all that and a bag of chips! LOLOr even thinking and saying to yourself that, 'I'm ok, I do good things, I give to the homeless, I donate my time and money to charity' etc...... BUT the Lord said clearly, we can do all those things, but our HEARTS can still be FAR FROM HIM!
1st Corinthians 10:12
"Therefore, let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall."
It is so important to stay humble no matter what situation we may find ourselves in! Because it's so easy to become prideful and arrogant, especially in positions of authority or when we have great wealth.
Remember God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble!
In Jesus,
