In the book, Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Patrick Lencioni states that the foundation of a team is built on trust; however, the only way to have trust is to believe that you can be vulnerable with those around you.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding”
Proverbs 3:5-6
In the sermon I heard today, our pastor brought the idea of our wanting to be significant. In that desire, we often become prideful. The danger in our lack of humbleness is that we no longer become vulnerable to God and our trust in Him is lost.
We often feel anxious with our choice to feed our ego instead of trusting in God and leaning on His will, which I am guilty of. In all things we do in life, let us always be vulnerable to God and willing to lower our need to be significant outside of Him.
