Temptations with Authority In Worldly Matters

3/21/2001

In a dream last night, men put in positions of “authority” in trivial worldly matters (their jobs) could be tempted to “think more highly of themselves than they ought.” Pride over meaningless matters would tempt some to not strive humbly and energetically for the things that REALLY matter—Spiritual things. The world puffs up and strokes, and tempts to confuse the two matters (your “position”—“knowledge”—“leadership”—“responsibilities” in trivial shallow worldly issues, with God’s Kingdom and Life). Thought I had better pass it on, since I don’t dream very often! 10:22 a.m.
