My Way or His Way?

Self-confidence might put a spring in my step but it’s more likely to trip me up. It can easily lead to pride. Maybe I should introduce myself; I’m me, myself and I.

Daniel detailed God’s relationship with King Nebuchadnezzar. The king paid a high price for his self-confidence and pride.

“But when his heart and mind were puffed up with arrogance, he was brought down from his royal throne and stripped of his glory. He was driven from human society. He was given the mind of a wild animal, and he lived among the wild donkeys. He ate grass like a cow, and he was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he learned that the Most High God rules over the kingdoms of the world and appoints anyone he desires to rule over them (Daniel 5:20-21 NLT).”

Where do you place your confidence?

“We are confident of all this because of our great trust in God through Christ. It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God (2 Corinthians 3:4-5 NLT).”

My way or His way?

His is always best.

Jesus not only knows the way and leads the way. He IS the way.

“Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me (John 14:6 NLT).”
