CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ARROGANT PERSON
It is very difficult for a proud person to receive direction from God through someone else. They don’t receive guidance from a pastor, leader, mentor, or friend. They don’t listen, are insensitive to the voice of God, believe they know it all, are stubborn with their ideas, don’t ask for advice, etc.
Wise people are all the contrary. These are the kind of people who like to grow, learn from others, follow instructions, consult God, etc.
Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan son of Kareah and all the other proud men said to Jeremiah, “You lie! The Lord our God hasn’t forbidden us to go to Egypt! (Jeremiah 43:2 NLT)
Think about it:
Do you easily receive correction?
Do you like to learn from others?
Do you consult God before making a decision?
