Week 7: Developing Character
Get the big head, if you want your results to be small.
Proverbs 11: 2, 29: 23, Proverbs 18: 12
The scripture is very plain. Humility comes before honor. King Saul was head and shoulders above everybody else but he ended up losing the kingdom to a little, shepherd boy. Learn to know the difference between blessing and bragging.
Daddy tried to warn us. He tried to get us to stop. It was the first game of the baseball season. We were up against the team picked to win it all and we beat them. Instantly, we transformed ourselves from the outhouse to the penthouse. We trash talked to anyone who would listen and some who didn’t about how good we were. We finished 1-15 that year.
You’ve heard it before. “Don’t count your chickens until they hatch.” “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over” Yogi Berra said. Just remember, get the big head if you want your results to be small. Are there any projects, plans, or people in your life where you need to use your head more for serving than for swelling?
