I John 2:16 ” For everything in the world – the cravings of sinful man, the lusts of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does – comes not from the Father but from the world.”

A great quote from Charles Spurgeon goes something like this- “While others are congratulating themselves, I have to sit at the foot of the Cross and marvel that I’m saved at all.” We’re indeed like toddlers, who after being patiently taught how to dress themselves will suddenly proclaim, “Me can do!” and start coming down stairs in the most outlandish outfits! Rather than taking what we been taught by God and using it in humility, meekness, and modesty…we crave self-important honor and a “Look what I’ve done!” haughtiness. Luke 6:24-26 teaches us that we will reap disaster in the end when we rely on our own achievement rather than realizing our abject spiritual poverty.
