The Green Bay Tree - Pride & Humility
Weekly Devotional
Companion Devotional for the Post: The Green Bay Tree: When Power Seems Unshakable
Remember to follow the Meditate – Pray – Apply model: read the verses in context,
reflect on their meaning, pray earnestly, and look for ways to live out God’s Word.
Monday’s post touches on political activity in America that challenges our faith and causes many to lament. These events have divided the church—some rejoice at the misfortune of others, some cry out asking where God is, while others confidently declare that God is in control.
This week’s devotional will focus on the intersection of pride and humility, calling us to intercede for our nation, seek God’s justice, and walk in the humility Christ modeled.
Day 1: The Fate of the Wicked
MEDITATE:
Psalm 37:35-36
35 I have seen a wicked, ruthless man, spreading himself like a green laurel [bay] tree.
36 But he passed away, and behold, he was no more; though I sought him, he could not be found.
Reflect on the temporary nature of earthly power and the certainty of God's justice.
