Welcome to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. We are so glad that you're here with us. You know, in this world,

we all go through trials and experience losses, but the good news is that God is always with you,

and you can never lose his love. Please stay tuned as Rick brings his new series, The Key to Hope, to a Close.

Okay, let's join Rick as he shares the final part of a message called How to Finish Well.

Now, you know what the big enemy of humility is? It's image. And that's sad because in Orange

County, image is everything.

Life never looked so good.

You know, it doesn't say it is good.

It says it looks good.

And as long as you look good, then it's okay.

And today we even have image consultants to help us know, you know, how to look great

and walk great and talk great and smell great

and dress great. And obviously, I've never hired one of them. But these image consultants are out there to kind of give you...

Don't worry about your image. Worry about your character. Your image is not going to last. Your character, you're taking into eternity

with you. That's what's going to last. Now, image is what other people think you are. And character

is what you really are. And so the Bible says, clothe yourselves with humility. You want to dress for

success? In the the morning you get up

and the first thing you put on is a humble spirit.

I know I'm just a human being.

The world does not depend on me

and I'm going to focus on God and other people

and you'll be humble.
