Day 2 – The Trap of Pride
Theme: Pride leads to humiliation, but humility leads to honor.
Scripture: “For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
—Luke 14:11
Devotional Thought:
Pride is sneaky. It doesn’t always look like arrogance—it can also look like insecurity masked by performance or people-pleasing. Jesus watched the guests scramble for the best seats and used their behavior to expose a truth: self-promotion often leads to public embarrassment.
God honors those who take the low seat—not because they think little of themselves, but because they trust Him to lift them up in due time.
Reflection Questions:
- Where have you tried to “exalt yourself” recently?
- How is God calling you to choose humility instead?
Action Step:
Choose humility today in one specific way—whether it’s letting someone else go first, not correcting someone to prove you're right, or simply serving without recognition.
Prayer:
Jesus, humble my heart. Show me where pride has crept in, and give me the courage to choose the lower seat. Amen.
