Isaiah 2:11 The eyes of the arrogant will be humbled and human pride brought low; the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
This is not a new way of looking at God – right from the early days during the time of the prophets, God wanted people to focus on their own relationship with Him rather than the acts of sacrifice.
People would compete against each other as to how much they could do for God – and continue to do the same today!
Stop the race. Stop the worldly ways. Focus on what God means to you. Focus on what is in your heart. Focus on what God has done for you and reflect that love!
