OED to the rescue

Name: Chad
Scripture: Numbers 36; Psalm 37; Acts 20:17-38

"From the first day I came into Asia Minor, 19 I was free of pride. I served the Lord with tears. I served him even though I was greatly tested by the evil plans of the Jews. 20 You know I haven't let anyone keep me from preaching anything that would be helpful to you.

25 "I have spent time with you preaching about the kingdom. I know that none of you will ever see me again. 26 So I tell you today that I am not guilty if anyone has not believed. 27 I haven't let anyone keep me from telling you everything God wants you to do


OAP: I think I need to redefine pride....
Paul is exactly where I find it so hard to be. Maybe I have been looking at it incorrectly. This passage is keying in on exactly what confuses me, and it seems as if it is effortless. I read a book that was big on pride and humility. Humility being nothing before God, and pride being something. I think the disconnect comes in the day to day thought of pride, and it's blend with confidence. Yet the connection make scense. I shall ponder this. It seems important for my worldview.

God, come in this place, clarify. I hope I don't get in the way
