About the Message
Dr. Stephen G. Tan | Isaiah 46–48
The tricky thing about pride is that it can feel so reasonable while it's happening, because it doesn't always look like bragging or thinking we're better than everyone else. Sometimes it looks like insisting on doing things our own way, refusing to change, getting defensive when someone gives us advice, or quietly believing, “I can handle this on my own.”
Isaiah 46–48 gives us a sobering reminder to examine our hearts, especially in the places where we're tempted to trust ourselves more than God. Because sometimes what we need isn't more confidence in ourselves, but a little more humility before the God who knows better, sees further, and carries us when we can't carry ourselves.
