Today's devotion is titled, "Untangling Pride."

Let us then with confidence draw near to the throng of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16

I hate being late to stuff.

If an event or appointment begins at 9:00 a.m., you can almost guarantee that I will be sitting in the parking lot at 8:45 - possibly earlier. My tendency toward showing up early is sort of a joke amongst my children. When I start to get flustered, shooing people into the car, they remind me that we WON'T be late because we are ALWAYS early.

They are not wrong, but their reminder stings, because - as I have done some soul-searching in regards to my particular issues - I've discovered that there's a shadow side to my penchant for promptness. I used to tell myself (and my children) that showing up early is a matter of respect for other people's time. I'd say: "If someone is expecting us, it isn't right that we waste their time by having them waiting around for us to get there."

And while this is partly true, my insistence for timeliness is also a pride issue. Chronic lateness can lead people to think all kinds of negative thoughts about whether or not we "have it all together". But when you show up early - especially with four kids in-tow - people are impressed, amazed, complimentary even. As I've considered my issue with time, in addition to being a struggle with pride, it is also a symptom of my tendency toward wanting to please people. Hello, my fellow, recovering people-pleasers. Human approval is addictive, and for some of us, the want of it towers in our hearts like an idol.

Pride is so sneaky, But it's nothing new; it has been called the very root of all sin. While we're out here doing good things, its tangled roots wrap their thorny hands around our hearts, quietly squeezing the life out of us. We can't break away from it on our own. Thankfully, God is always glad to lead us out of this ugly place.

"Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you." James 4:10

God's exalting of a heart that is hungry for mercy heals like nothing else. Thankfully, it's never too late to ask for His help.

Invite the Holy Spirit to show you how and where you are seeking to please people and/or falling into pride. Humbly repent and ask God to show you what it looks like to Him first and foremost in this place in your life.
