Act High and Mighty
Some people think they are better than others.
Those who act high and mighty:
- Appear proud and powerful
- Want others to admire them
- Believe they are more important than others
- Act the opposite of humble, down-to-earth people.
People who act high and mighty have become too big for their britches.
They fail to treat everyone with respect.
No one is more or less important than anyone else. Different positions do not equal different worth.
The high and mighty don’t remain there forever.
Mountains change. People change.
The tallest mountains slowly erode. Rain, wind, animals, and people wear away the dirt and rocks. Time also changes the positions people fill.
God alone is eternally high and mighty.
God is God. People are not. Only God deserves our highest honor.
“Who is like you, Lord God Almighty? You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you” (Psalm 89:8 NIV)
