Here are some questions for you to see how pride may be at work in your life based on Martha's story in Luke 10:38-42.
How true is it of you that you must give in order to get (v. 38)?
How often do you feel a sense of entitlement because of all that you have done for others (v. 39)?
How frequently do you feel you must put the needs of others ahead of your own (v. 40a)?
How hard is it for you to acknowledge your own hurt and ask for help (v. 40b)?
How true is it of you that you have to earn the affection of others because love is not simply given?
How do you react to the criticism of others (v. 41)?
How do you react when someone is selected for a position you expected to fill or promoted in your place (v. 42)?
How do you react when another’s gifts seem greater than your own?
How hard is it for you when others don’t seem to notice or care when you’ve done something good for them? How hard is it for you to take credit when you’ve done something good for others?
How do you feel when others identify with your weaknesses or problems by relating them to their own?
