Don’t Fall for the Lie of Self-Importance
“For if anyone thinks that he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.” — Galatians 6:3 (NASB 1995)
Thinking you’re better than others isn’t confidence—it’s deception.
The Spirit opens our eyes to see that apart from Christ, we’re not “something”—we’re nothing. That realization doesn’t crush you; it frees you. Because once pride dies, grace can take root.
And that’s where real strength grows.
Challenge:
Confess one area where pride has blinded you. Ask the Holy Spirit to replace it with humility.
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, break any pride that’s hidden in me. Help me see myself rightly—humble, dependent, and loved by You. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
