When God says that we must pray for those who are recognized as guilt, he wants us to think who and who we leave who?
We are all at all levels, it is sure that some will say they do not recognize themselves in them, they are calm, honest and humble.
The truth is that we define someone humble according to what suits us.
My brother, for example, I find him too proud, too proud, when he wants something, do not give him a look, you will end up feeling it pass, often if he has already flattered you too much.
The proud knows that he has and boasts, and we are many in this situation.
Our friends will tell us that we are humble and kind, our beautiful families, the number of female enemies will say that we are too big, ambitious.
We can say this morning, that we will judge those whom we find proud according to what suits us, according to our social ranks, our expectations or our money.
But what God is asking us to do this morning is simple.
We must locate the characteristics of a proud man.
There are people here, who boast up, they are not beautiful, but still perched on their heels, undermined as ever.
They created their world where there are snobs like them, boastful, haughty, blind of their weaknesses and their sins, they know they are and they are capable.
If God takes a moment to tell us about this thorn, it is because pride prevents us from serving him, from knowing him, from accepting our faults, pushes us to do ourselves, to believe that we do not We need no one to get us out of it, to give us glory, the merit yet the one who has accomplished everything is God.
What we have that we have not received?
Even the air we breathe is free.
Pride knows that he can, he is sufficient, he does not need God and his advice, he wants to go far, he does not want anyone through his path, he believes he controls everything, he masters everything.
It’s not too much of our fault, the world has imposed everything, decided everything for us, the average age to get married and give birth, our school and professional orientations, our projects, our ways of speaking, of our dress . He has fabricated an inordinate need, he has cultivated in us greatness, our interests first and we feel good in yet we are far and far away from the path of God, of his will.
Pride concerns us all, we refuse to erase ourselves to give space to others, we want to appear, show that we want to appear, to show that such a thing is ours, that we had contributed for such.
We are the false people who want to wield the screens to make us see, nobody wants to stay away.
We must pray for ourselves, it is not worth while to accuse others of pride when we are all wrong, we say to ourselves Christians but we are religious, we do not want to see a brother for a reason or for another, we look at others with disdain, we do not talk with the neighbor because we have a duplex and he is in a room, we feel too superior, too safe.
Friends, God has created us identical, similar, there is no one on this earth who has 4 arms, or 4 heads, we are all there to hold our hand and move forward and not to encourage isolationism as a country the …
With that, God warns us and tells us pray for someone who is full of pride.
Obadiah 1: 3 – The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the hollow of the rocks, who sit on the heights, and say in yourself, who will bring me to the earth?
