Dont Try To Be God

Search and Select The Passage:

Acts 12:22

Watch The Context:

Herod was trying to solve the disagreement with the people in Tyre and Sidon(two major economic cities with port and trade route) and he wants to prove the point that he is the boss. The people of the city went down with fear and this is when they start to flatter him with overpraise him.

As the result, Herod was struck by the angels for his arrogance. From trying to be god, he was degraded into eaten by worm (an expression of dejection) and moreover, his death was imminent. What a great reminder of living humbly in the presence of the Lord.

Keyword: humility

Develop A New Walk in Grace:

Lord, i want to acknowledge you as God and let The Spirit be my Guide.
