The Goal Of Al Chet Is To Get To The Root Of The Problem. To become more like Yeshua and to become conformed to His Image and Torah is a process, it does not happen over night. The key is never to give up, because He does not give up on us. We are all under construction and a work in process and this is the time to do spiritual house cleaning.
#28. For the sin we have sinned before You through haughtiness/arrogance.
Definition of haughtiness: Websters 1828 Dictionary
Haughtiness
HAUGHTINESS, n. hau'tiness. The quality of being haughty; pride mingled with some degree of contempt for others; arrogance.
Isa 2:11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
When you look up scriptures referring to haughtiness it always refers to those who are rebellious against God and His Ways and contempt for His people.
Jer 48:29 We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
Haughtiness is a form of pride as well.
Pro 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Pro 11:2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
Pro 13:10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
Pro 14:3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
Pro 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
So what is the "cure" for haughtiness, arrogance and pride?
Humility:
Definition of Humility - YESHUA
Php 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Jas 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
1Pe 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
1Pe 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
Mat 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
To walk in humility is to die to SELF or the ME, ME,ME, I, I, I syndrome.
Self Conceit
Self Righteousness
Self Exaltation
Self Consciousness
Self Pity
Self Destruction
Self Centeredness
Mat 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Mat 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
28. For the mistakes we committed before You by being arrogant. The trait the Torah uses to describe Moses is "the most humble man." Humility is a key to spiritual growth, because it allows us to make room in our life for other people - and for God
Ask yourself:
Have I made others feel lowly in order to raise myself higher?
Do I dress and speak in a way that draws extra attentself?
When walking through a door, do I usually go first, or let others go first?
