II. Selections
Psalm 33:10
The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
he frustrates the plans of the people.
1 Samuel 2:3
Talk no more so very proudly,
let not arrogance come from your mouth;
for the LORD is a God of knowledge,
and by him actions are weighed.
Titus 2:7a
Show yourself in all respects a model of good works ...
Luke 1:32
He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David.
III. Meditation: Talk not so very proudly
Let us not talk so very proudly, let no arrogance come from our mouths; for you are a God of knowledge, and by you actions are weighed. You bring the counsel of the nations to nothing; you frustrated the plans of the peoples. You have made Jesus great, the Son of the Most High; and you have given him the throne of his ancestor David. Help us model our lives after his, who is the model of good works; but let no proud talk or arrogance come from our mouths.
