DAILY MESSAGE FROM KONG -

God promises to dwell "with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble" (Is. 57:15). A key determining factor for personal revival is humility.
Pride is seeking independence from God. The result of pride is always rebellion, disaster, grief and sorrow.
In Luke 12:16-21, Jesus talks about a certain rich man who arrogantly boasted, "I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. And I will say to my soul, 'Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink and be merry.'" Do you notice how many times this rich man said "I" and "my"?
In a certain sense, he was probably a good man. He must have been sensible, respectable, smart, prudent and a good manager. Just look at the crops he harvested!
