Pride - Why We Don't Kneel

We are a people of pride.  The reality is that we can’t fathom God’s faithfulness, we are dreadfully unaware of His awesomeness, we will never be able to grasp His grace, we aren’t mindful enough of His mercy, we aren’t truly humbled by His holiness... all this because don’t fully comprehend the depth of our depravity... we were born broken.

As a church we see sin as society sees a moral code.  We justify the “little” transgressions, yet vilify the “large” ones, and through this we ratify our “righteousness.”  That is the essence of our pride... we see ourselves as better than most.  We lack face to floor worship, because we don’t see a need for it.

We don’t bow because we haven’t really learned the necessity of it.

 

Any time I am invited to kneel before my Maker, my knees should be hitting the floor.
