"Your Majesty, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar, who long ago preceded you, a kingdom and majesty and glory and honor. He gave him such majesty that all the nations of the world trembled before him in fear. He killed any who offended him and spared any he liked. At his whim they rose or fell. But when his heart and mind were hardened in pride, God removed him from his royal throne and took away his glory." (Dan 5:18-21 TLB)
One should never get caught up or carried away in thinking more highly of one's self than one should. The mirror of reality always reflects the truth. Come to the knowledge of the truth before God makes an adjustment in your position!
Prayer: Lord, it is so easy at times to get caught up in our own hype and be swept away with pride. Keep the mirror of reality in front of us so we can always remain humble. Amen.
Prov 16:18-19. . . . Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. KJV
