How the Mighty Have Fallen

6/22/09
My prayer verse for the day comes from II Sam. 1:17-25. Three times in this lament, David says about Saul and Jonathan, "How the mighty have fallen." I know that I want to preach on this text on Sunday.
I didn't learn the word hubris until I went to seminary. A good definition for hubris is that it is the opposite of humility. When we puff ourselves up, we are setting ourselves up for a fall.
Also people that we love will die, and we will miss them. We all sin. We all die.
How the mighty have fallen.

Love,
Pastor Lynn
