Pride in Strength?

4/12/2021

We pride ourselves on our strength. When difficulties arise, we want to prove to others that we can rise above all trials and obstacles and overcome. We want to be able to say that we overcame the hardships and “came out on top”. We are all drawn and attracted to stories of people who overcame insurmountable odds and attained their goal, be it an athletic feat or perhaps an invention; or people who fought for land and country when it appeared that the war was lost. We gravitate towards strength.

In Genesis 12, God commanded Abraham to leave his homeland and go forth into an unknown country. Abraham obeyed, but along the way, Abraham allowed fear to influence him and lied to Pharaoh about who his wife was. He was worried that he would be killed if Pharaoh realized Sarah was his wife. Abraham found his own solution in response to his fear (which might have been a valid fear; who knows) by lying and saying Sarah was his sister.

After the obedience of stepping out in faith, God will test your resolve--many times. He does this to give us opportunities to anchor ourselves even more firmly in Him.

I was recently surprised to read that when Jonah prayed, he praised the Lord with thanksgiving WHILE he was in the belly of the creature that had swallowed him up. Really??!! How could he possibly praise God in such a moment? He didn’t know whether or not he would be delivered or digested, yet he still praised Him. Job said, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” (Job 13:15). How is that even possible?
