Pride and Humility dictate how we see the world #1

More from the 7/10 Class. I know I went to fast over the material, so I will include sections of it here:

How we view ourselves, God and the world

 

            What is the center:

·         Pride dictates that we are the center of the world, the center of what is happening. Pride asks at every juncture, ‘how does this impact me?’

·         Humility sees God at the center, God orchestrating events and asks the question, “how can I serve God’s purpose in this situation?’

           

How important I am:

·         Pride has an unhealthy self-focus and an unbiblical high view of self. It gives an inappropriately high amount of weight to my opinions, my interpretations and my motives in the moment. Pride relies heavily on self-counsel.

·         Humility recognizes my flesh-centered limitations to subjectivity [how I subjectively view myself and others] and interpreting life. Humility calls on the godly counsel of others. Humility dictates that I give more weight to the opinions of others than I do to my own.
