00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.200
Pride's really a it's a tough one

00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:04.400
because I'm kind of sure that if every

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:06.440
one of us is honest at some point or

00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:08.519
other we lift ourselves above someone

00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:11.120
else we kind of compare ourselves we're

00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:13.200
trying to figure out okay how can I be

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:14.960
okay I don't feel like I'm good enough

00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:17.039
but I'm better than that person all all

00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:19.720
of this kind of of comparison thing and

00:00:19.720 --> 00:00:22.240
the obvious opposite of pride is is

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:25.519
humility so I want to lobby for a

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:28.080
walking in humility a walking in a way

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:29.679
that we're not pretending because the

00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:31.720
best thing for me is not to pretend that

00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:33.719
I'm better than somebody else or not as

00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:35.719
good as somebody else but just say Okay

00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:37.719
God created me the way that he did as

00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:40.239
long as I'm doing my best to walk in the

00:00:40.239 --> 00:00:42.399
way that he is leading me last night I

00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:44.640
was with somebody a friend who had who

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:46.960
had earned a doctorate in an aspect of

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.199
of law the guy was already an attorney

00:00:49.199 --> 00:00:51.440
and then he spent eight years earning a

00:00:51.440 --> 00:00:53.800
doctorate in international law and so

00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:55.879
I'm struggling after I met with him I'm

00:00:55.879 --> 00:00:58.359
going shishkov what did you do uh a

00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:00.800
little simple Bachelor degree and

00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:02.879
nothing beyond that this this kind of

00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:04.799
stuff it's nonsense it's it's garbage

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:06.880
really because if I knew that that's

00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:09.080
what I needed to do I would have done it

00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:11.640
I was available I I've never shut my

00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:14.400
life down and so all I'm saying is that

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.119
walking in humility means that I I

00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:19.799
refuse intellectual Pride I refuse

00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:22.840
religious Pride I refuse the pride of

00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.040
Personality or of place or of ministry

00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.799
or achievement or family or any of the

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:30.520
things that I might claim because you

00:01:30.520 --> 00:01:32.320
know what I'm no better than you are you

00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:34.119
know better than I am and that's the

00:01:34.119 --> 00:01:35.759
beautiful thing is that we've been

00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:38.119
created in the image of God so that God

00:01:38.119 --> 00:01:40.840
could really make real to us our worth

00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:42.399
and that that worth is something that

00:01:42.399 --> 00:01:45.560
everybody walks with
