Yesterday we looked at the title “Who are you like?”. Lucifer found himself at the pinnacle, He was high up in the ranks of Heaven; yet, He let pride get into his way. Look at what he said in Isaiah 14:13, “For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:”
Notice where he started in verse 13, “… I will ascend into heaven,”. His goal was to get into the highest reaches of Heaven. He wanted to be worshiped. He wanted to be the one looked up to and revered. To worship someone or something means that we ascribe worth to them or it. You see where he was going. Pride was taking him down the slippery slope to hell.
We must be careful in our lives. If pride becomes a problem for us then we become more like the devil than Jesus. This is a dangerous place to be. If you find yourself there rest assured that our Father will discipline us. If you can live like this and you do not get disciplined you are not in the family. You need to get into the family immediately by trusting Jesus Christ as your Saviour.
So, how are you doing?
