Prideful people are overconfident people trying to convince others that they are good enough to do what they are doing. Their pride makes them want to appear to be; someone others should look up to or be honored to be around. But, in reality, the people they want to look up to usually are the same people who make them shine. On the other hand, humble people never have to prove themselves to be better than others but look lowly of themselves over others. Because humble people receive their rewards and blessings from God, not man.
Father, let us do nothing from rivalry or conceit but in humility count others more significant than ourselves. Let each of us look not only to our own interests but also to the interests of others. Let us have a humble mindset among ourselves, which is in Christ Jesus; that will help us focus more on God and others than on ourselves. Lord, let our humility free us from the arrogance; that grows from not recognizing that all we have comes from God. Father, let us not look at humility as an inadequacy, lack of dignity, or worthlessness but receive humility as the prime example of Christ, who is entirely adequate and worthy. Lord, let our mind be renewed, so we think wisely about ourselves and our function in the body of Christ. Father, let us focus on Christ when given menial tasks in His Kingdom, so we do not exalts ourselves, but be humble, and we will be exalted, in Jesus' name, Amen.
