Removing pride?
Q7: How do we remove pride ?
��� In the Bible, pride is a symbol for rock. Rock is broken down by
weathering. Weathering is the action of wind, fire, water and air on rock
which breaks the rock into smaller pieces, physically and chemically.
� The agency in the Bible that are symbols for wind, fire, water and air is
the Holy Spirit. So if humans are naturally rock, the job of the Holy Spirit is
to weather you into soil, tiny pieces of rock physically, chemically and
spiritually changed ready to receive the seeds of Jesus sown in the mind.
Does that mean like rock in the desert, there is nothing for man to do ?
Mother Nature weathers lifeless rocks into soil without the rocks
permission. Does the Holy Spirit weather us into soil, without our help,
or permission ? No ! For natural rock is dead, and lifeless and without a will
to choose. Humans are different. Humans are living rock. The Holy Spirit
will only weather you, if you allow the process to work. The question for all
of us, as living rocks of pride, are we willing to be weathered
by the Holy Spirit ? Shalom
