Your Ego Called; God Sent A Flood

We challenge the grip of pride by pointing to a bigger reality: God’s glory covers everything like water covers the sea, leaving no room for ego or clout. From acrostics to Habakkuk 2:14, we call for courage, humility, and love on and off our platforms.

• life update on licensing progress and gratitude
• new acrostics for God, fear and hope with supporting Scripture
• backlash over posts and why tone can be misread
• critique of intellectual boxes and call for open minds
• discernment framed as humility, not arrogance
• pride defined and traced to collapse
• Habakkuk 2:14 explained as total glory coverage
• using platforms to reflect Christ rather than self
• courage to disagree while choosing love
• final appeal to seek a relationship with Jesus

If you do not have a relationship with Jesus, you better get right

Hey guys, it's B-Rob, and I'd like to thank my beautiful wife, Courtney, for that, for that sweet intro I got her to record. And you know, it's hard to get women to do stuff like that. For, I mean, we've been married 27 years and she don't like to take pictures. I mean, she's very private, you know. I mean, and some women are just like that, but I love her. God bless her. And today's a beautiful day. It's February the 17th, 2026. And tomorrow I take my exam to become a licensed uh life insurance agent for Georgia. How nice. I finally passed the course with an 89, which is a 90. But um, man, it's good stuff, good stuff. I just uh I've been working on some uh I've been working on some acrostics, uh contrast acrostics, I guess you would call them. I I'm not real sure, but um check these out. Like uh God, you know how I say uh fear, false evidence appearing real, and hope uh hold on, pain ends. Well, check this out God, great one divine. So I've even got some scripture. So Psalm 145, verse 3. Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise, his greatness no one can fathom. And then Psalms 8610, you alone are God. So God standing for great one divine or great one deserving. Notice the similarities between the two acrostics. Great one divine, great one deserving. Notice the middle letter O and the word one. There's no gods. Those entities are not real entities because there's only one God, one great one divine. Yep, don't give me on my soapbox, don't give me on my soapbox, no, no, don't give me on my soapbox. But anyway, um, you know, like I said, I got attacked for that Valentine's Day post, and I wasn't calling anybody pagan. I was simply saying the holiday derives from Incinners right in the middle of a pagan ritualistic festival called Lupercalia. Look it up. I mean, I've already done a podcast about it, so but anyway, that's the thing is I've a lot of people jumped in my inbox and was, you know, they're like, I'm still your friend, but I just think you're going about it wrong, and this, that, and the other. And, you know, a lot of my posts come across, a lot of my social media posts come across as arrogant. But it's not meant to be arrogant, it's meant to make you think. If it's if you think it's arrogant, or you think I'm doing it for clout, then maybe you got pride that you're dealing with. So if it's hitting you emotionally, then maybe I'm over the target. You know what I'm saying? Um, especially, and I don't, I hate to put this way, I I'll I'll never win a debate with someone who has a BS in theology and all this, you know, this university knowledge. I'll never win a debate with that person because that person, like all the people before and after who got that degree, they're all taught the same exact thing. And they're not, it's hard to say this because I don't I'm I'm not putting anybody down and I'm not judging anybody, but this is a fact. There's a box that they're taught to stay in. Um, I never could live in that box. I've always been more of a critical thinker. I've always questioned everything, even authority. I'm not saying that I did anything illegal. All I'm saying is I question it. Sometimes vocally, as of the last 10 years, a lot of times vocally, but that was something that God and I wrestled with because all those years leading up to that, I wasn't vocal about it. I just observed and saw right from wrong, good from evil. And that's what I mean by discernment. I don't mean it in an arrogant way. I don't mean it saying, I know more than you. I just mean that if you look at the New Testament, if you look at 1 John, you look at 2 John, and you read it for what it is, if you look at Acts, if you look at those things, all those people that were called Christians were not in a box. The people that were in the box were the ones who named Christians Christians. The name was given to Christianity not by Christians. And it wasn't while Christ was around, it was post-Christ. It was the non-believers putting the followers of Christ inside a box. Which, if you're a true follower of Christ and you have read the Gospels, you know that Christ did not live in that box or any box, not even of this world. So symbolically and metaphorically speaking, there should be no box, and anybody should be able to have a debate with anybody with open mind. Because I can guarantee you, I can guarantee you that if you go back and get a history book from World War II, then you get a history book from the 80s, and you get a history book from a school curriculum now, and I can almost guarantee you that you're gonna get three different histories, and people don't even know or think to do that. It's it's I don't know, but I just think that way, and if they've lied to us about all this stuff, then what what uh what all have they lied to us about? That's my thing, but that's don't don't get caught up in that stuff. That's not the message, that is not the message I'm trying to preach. That is me, that is the gift and the curse that I have. So I'm not trying to put that on anybody. But guys, today I want to talk to you about something that's important. Um, if you got your Bible, turn your Bible to um I guess the Hebrew pronunciation would be Habakkuk, Habakkuk 214. Um, you see, before we get into that, they told us the world tells us that pride is power. But you see, scripture says pride only builds towers that fall. Power that falls. Um, let's see, pride. Puffed up hearts refusing correction, ignoring God, drunk on self, ending in ruin. Pride. We'll say that again. Puffed up hearts, refusing correction, ignoring God, drunk on self, ending in ruin. Because you see, pride wants the glory. But the glory was never meant for pride or me or you. You see, the glory wasn't meant for us. You see, God steps in and says, Watch this. There's a uh song, I think, called Watch This on the New Brandon Lake record. It's a very good song. Um, I think that's the title. Don't hold me. But if you look at the book of Habakkuk, 214, yes, chapter 2, verse 14, and we just had a Valentine's Day. But if you look at it, it says, For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. You see, it says, cover the sea. You see, not partial, not just a little bit, not anything hidden, not anything shared, but covered. You see, the water leaves no dry place. Just like God's glory leaves no room for human boasting or pride. You see, that's when pride bows. You see, pride tries to be God, but there's only one great one divine. There's only one God. And you see, that very God gives you hope. When the weight of life bears on your shoulders like a brick. We just have to hold on because the pain ends. Hope. Hold on, pain ends. Not because we rise, but because he's already exalted. The battle's already won. Remember, great one divine. You see, you see, we've got all these platforms now. We've got all these ways to communicate. We've got all these digital billboards. We put our opinions there. But you see, it shouldn't be filled with our names, our opinions. It should be filled with his glory. Because his glory fills everything. And when his glory fills everything, there is no room for pride. There's only room for praise and worship for the one true God. There's only room for praise and worship for the one true God. And we should be using every platform we have to do that. To spread the truth, to be a light. A city on a hill goes unnoticed. So if you've got a platform and you love God, you should make it known. Because my Bible tells me that when others see me and my actions, they should see Christ. No, I'm not saying that you have to agree with everybody and everything. Christ flipped tables. He drove out money exchangers from the temple. Think about that. Okay. He fought with the Pharisees, the preachers of those times. Think about that. I'm not saying go pick a fight with people. I'm just saying you do not have to agree with them, but you have to show love. With that said, I love you guys. God loves you guys. I thank you guys for tuning in. I really do. With all my heart, I thank you guys for tuning in. Just remember one thing. Pride is of the fall. God is a great one divine who brings hope, which is hold on, pain ends. And do not let the devil trick you with fear, because fear is false, evidence appearing real. And once again, pride is of the fall. Pride means puffed up hearts, refusing correction, ignoring God, drunk on self, ending in ruin. Because, like I said before, pride wants the glory, but the glory was not meant for pride. So when we become pride, God's glory is not meant for us. So I don't know about you guys, but I want to stay in God's grace and God's glory. I love you guys. If you do not have a relationship with Jesus, you better get right.
