“We think we are God and we refuse to acknowledge our need and dependence…not just occasionally, and not just under certain circumstances, but at all times and in every sphere – marriage, work, neighborhood, home – pride is our greatest enemy.”
“By far this is the most difficult thing, to keep a people hungry and humble before a living God when everything around you looks successful. That’s what makes difficulty such a beautiful thing. It keeps you humble before God, it keeps you crying out. That’s why health and wealth and prosperity can be such damning things. God opposes the proud. Are you hearing that? “I am against you.” But He gives grace to the humble, to the hungry, to the lowly in estate…It has always been and it will always be this way, that God will exalt the lowly and He will work against and bring low the haughty, in church, out of church, in pulpits, out of pulpits, in the workplace, out of the workplace. ”
-Matt Chandler
