In this message, we delve into the profound dangers of pride and the transformative power of humility. The story of King David's census in 1 Chronicles 21 serves as a stark reminder of how easily pride can creep into our hearts, even for those closest to God. We're challenged to examine our own lives, recognizing that pride often disguises itself as self-sufficiency or accomplishment. The consequences of David's pride affected not just him, but 70,000 innocent people - a sobering lesson on how our actions impact others. Yet, in God's mercy, we see hope. The threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite becomes a place of repentance and sacrifice, foreshadowing Christ's ultimate sacrifice. We're called to embrace humility, understanding that 'pride must die in us for heaven to live in us.' This message urges us to seek God's forgiveness, to resist the temptation of pride, and to cultivate a heart that gives God glory for all our blessings.
