Surrender Challenge Day 1

Romans 12:3
“For I say, through the grace given to me,
to everyone who is among you,
not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think,
but to think soberly,
as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith."

Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before a fall.”

Romans 12:16 “Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.”

1 Peter 5:5-6 “Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time."

1 Peter 1:13 “Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

Psalm 138:6 “For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly, but the haughty he knows from afar.”

Proverbs 6:16-17 “There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood."

2 Chronicles 34:27 “Because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before God ... and you have humbled yourself before me and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you, declares the Lord.”

1 Samuel 2:3 “Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from your mouth; for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.”

Challenge Day 1:

When I am tempted to think of myself more highly than I ought to think, I will chose to STOP and think what is true, PRAY that God would give me grace to be humble, and SING the hymn 'make me a servant' to my King and DO whatever I am completing, aware of His presence with me, and to His standard of perfection.
