Prodigal: Wait to you see how I can drive this thing.

Me: Don’t let pride run ahead of you.

This is from the book Revolution in World Missions by K.P. Yohannan

We are driven by powerful egos always to be right. We are often slaves to a strong tendency to “have it our way.” All of these are manifestations of pride. The opposite of that is the servanthood and humble sacrifice commanded by Christ. Making a sacrifice for one of the unknown brethren–supporting his work to a strange people in a strange place, using methods that are a mystery to you—does take humility. But supporting the national brethren must begin with this kind of commitment to humility and must continue in the same spirit. Sadly, our pride all too often stands in the way of progress.

Isaiah 50:10

Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of his servant? Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.
