Ron: What’s the difference between those who hear the Word of God and are changed by it, and those who aren’t?
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: You know I’ve often wondered why there are lots of people who sit in church every week but only a few who put into practice what they learn. Proverbs 11 says that, “Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” You see, humility is the posture that acknowledges our dependence on God and opens us to the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit.
I like to say it this way: humility primes the canvas of your heart to receive the Holy Spirit’s paint, so you can more profoundly reflect the image of Christ. Now pride, it closes you off to how the Lord is trying to transform you. So prepare your heart to receive God’s wisdom. Clothe yourself with humility.
For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
