0:00.0	Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.
0:05.6	Exodus chapter 10, verse 3.
0:08.8	So Moses and Aaron went into Pharaoh and said to him,
0:13.7	Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews,
0:17.6	How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me let my people go that they may serve me
0:28.2	these verses much like we have seen already in pharaoh's life are a clear reminder that we need every one of us in our lives a posture of
0:47.3	humility before God. And we need to pray for this. You think it every time we sin it is at its root a picture of
1:01.2	pride sin is really at its root pride because it's us saying every time we sin god i know what is better for me than you do i desire this
1:19.4	and even if you say it's not good i'm going to move forward with this desire in my heart or i say this even though it is against your word but i'm not good i'm going to move forward with this desire in my heart or I say this even though it is against your word
1:30.9	but I do it because I think it's going to work out better for me like every sinful thought
1:38.3	every sinful desire every single sinful word decision decision, deed. It's all pride. And so the antidote to sin is what?
1:53.4	It's humility. It's God, I trust you. And I have a desire for this, but I'm going to not pursue that desire because I trust you.
2:05.3	I want to make this decision over here, but I'm not going to do that because I know that goes

2:20.6	is humility, a humble trust in God's word, a humble trust in God's ways that his ways and
2:28.1	his word are always best. So we pray God together right now, we pray.
2:35.8	Give us humility.
2:37.6	We pray for humility.
2:39.2	We pray that you would deliver us from all pride.
2:42.5	Help us to be humble before you to trust in your ways, to trust in your word, to follow
2:49.1	your word by your grace, to trust in your grace, to enable us word by your grace, to trust in your grace to
2:51.8	enable us to obey your word. God, we pray for an ever constant posture of humility before you.
