Subject: Do we need to fear success |
Bible Note: Proverbs 16:18 (NASB) 18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling. Proverbs 11:2 (NKJV) 2 When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom. Proverb 16:18 seems to suggest that whenever something is accomplished a time of trial will follow but Proverbs 11:2 which repeats the same warning also says that humbleness will prevent that. The gift of the Spirt was given for our good. If we learn to move and function within our relationship with the Holy Spirit we have nothing to fear. It is only when we deny the power of the Holy Spirit or fail to respond His leading that we have problems. |
