The Hidden Trap That Could Be Blocking Your Spiritual Growth!
Today, examine your heart. Pride sneaks in unnoticed, convincing you that you have it all together. But God’s Word cuts through that illusion. The gospel isn’t just for the broken—it challenges you in your strength, confronting the areas where pride has taken root. Don’t let arrogance cloud your view of God’s truth.
Right now, ask God to reveal the places in your heart that need humbling. Lay down any pride or self-sufficiency. The gospel brings you to a place of surrender, where true strength is found—not in yourself, but in Christ. Embrace the freedom you have in Christ. You don’t have to rely on your own strength today. God is waiting to fill you with His power, just let go of your pride.
"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."
— Hebrews 4:12
Brief Biographical Summary
John Calvin lived from 1509 to 1564 and was one of the most important figures of the Reformation. He wrote Institutes of the Christian Religion, a seminal work in Protestant theology. Fun fact: Calvin believed in simplicity, so much so that he requested to be buried in an unmarked grave to avoid any form of idolization!
