Intro: In the game of limbo, you have to stay low in order to succeed and if you are not low enough then you get out.
Our text today talks about the consequences of not being humble.
God humbles the proud and lifts up the lowly.
Being proud of our accomplishments is not a bad thing.
God has given all of us unique and awesome abilities.

Sports
Academics
We should all be proud of the ways God uses each of us.
However, we should not let that pride take root.
We should not let that take glory away from God, who gave us our gifts, talents etc..
God always desires a humble heart, in everything we do.
Can’t hide our true intentions from God.
History/Backstory:
Tyre is a city in the ancient world that was very powerful and they were taking advantage of the fall of Jerusalem.
Israel allied with them and Egypt for sometime and by doing so Israel had adopted many of their idols.
God was making it clear that He would use Babylon to bring them down.
Even though they prospered for sometime, God would not let it go any longer.
Just like the king of Tyre, we can only hide for so long.
Maybe we try to hide our personal ambitions, mask our pridefulness with false humility, but sooner or later, our true colors will be shown by God.
His desire for us is to stay close and enjoy his blessing and goodness.
But in reality we are all prone to sin and we can all take what God gave us and use them for our self ambitions.
The proud will be humbled.
Despite the favor and prosperity the king had, God was about to bring judgement to him.
The king started to look at himself as more of a god than a king.
He wanted more power, more money, and more trade.
God was very specific on what was going to happen to the king and Tyre- they would be cast out.
The king had put his trust in his own power and wealth, than God.
That is why wealth and power is so dangerous to have because it can lead to being prideful.
When we have more it becomes easier and easier to rely on ourselves.
God is our source of security.
God still gives hope to His people, that He will restore them and live securely in their own land that He gave them.
As believers we have no greater security than our relationship with Jesus.
While the world puts there trust in their finances, jobs, or families and relationships, the gospel tells us to be anchored in Christ alone.
Christ never changes unlike our circumstances
Jesus will never leave us and nothing that happens to us, He won’t go anywhere.
