Overcomer: Overcoming Pride

Text: Genesis 41:1-49

One way that pride can be defined is grasping for equality with God. We all tend to grasp for equality with God in some area of our lives. But what if this prideful grasping is actually standing in the way of the very freedom and fulfillment that we are hoping to gain by grasping? There are many things the humble can do that the prideful cannot and Genesis 41 provides a snapshot from the life of Joseph of just what humility looks like and where it can lead. Perhaps its time for us to stop grasping for equality with God and instead simply grasp God.
