Leaders are Humble

Team:

Today David finds out the hard way what Pride can do to someone and how it affects others.

David has had a lot of success. He was leading Israel to become the Greatest Power in the world. He went from the unknown sheppard boy in Jesse's house to the most powerful king ever.

David let the fame lift up his ego and pride. David numbered the people to find out how great he has become.

Wealth, Fame and Power can cause us all to let our guard down and become complacent with our relationship with God.

"Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall." Proverbs 16:18

"God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." James 4:6

Is Pride always bad?
No, as long as it is Pride in what God has done for us.

Just Go! Win the Day!

Phil 4:13
