Our ego's can kill us and things around us. Our ego's can give us a false preception of who we truly are. Our ego's can get us in alot of trouble! Don't believe me, just ask Goliath.
We all know the story of David the lowly sheperd boy going against the giant Goliath.Not only was Goliath big, but his ego was even bigger! His ego gave him a sense of false confidence in himself. There was no way that anyone or anything could bring him down. He just didn't know that sometimes God uses the small things, the lowly things, the simple things to bring our egos down. Sometimes all it takes is a Rock in our heads!
1 Peter 5:6 reads as follows:"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time." How many times do we exalt ourselves over others? How many times do we put our ego's before the will of God. How many times do we take all the praise and don't give God any at all. How many times have we played Goliath in our lives?
The bible says that David used a sling and a stone to bring Goliath to the ground. Once on the ground David used Goliath's sword to cut Goliath's head off.The Rock didn't kill him it just grounded him. In other words, it took a rock in his head to humble and ground him. We too need a Rock in our heads, a Rock called Jesus!!A Rock that will help keep us humble and grounded.It's nothing wrong with have a Rock in your head if that Rock is Jesus! He is my Rock,my Bright and Morning Star,my Way out of no way, my Strength,my All and All!!
Don't let your ego ever get too big for God because you better look out!! There is a Rock aimed at your head! Thank God for His one and only Rock!
"Father, sometimes we forget from where you have taken us. We forget to humble ourselves before you in all things and sometimes let our ego's get in the way. Please forgive us and put your Rock in our heads to keep is grounded with your Love. In the mighty name of Jesus,Amen."
