Exaltation, the error of man

* Luís Alberto Alves

One of the greatest errors committed by men consists in exaltation: few admit to depend on Jesus. They rely only on the arm, give ground to selfishness. It is pride winning the battle against humility.

In a recent event in the city of São Paulo related to automobiles, I noticed how all the wisdom obtained in a given area is never given to the Lord. With every presented car, more and more sophisticated, the mechanical engineers praised his talent.

Unfortunately many Christians act this way without crediting their achievements to the wisdom shed by God on our minds. All is merit of man. Equal son, who after reaching the age of majority despises the parents, putting them aside in their decisions.

The mistake of many Christians is to imagine that the bad day will never come. With it, the sea will never have a storm, always with low waves. But that is not how the wheel of life turns. Dark times fall upon every human being.
