(Proverbs 16:18 NKJV) Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.
Pride… we’re all guilty of it in one way or another at different times in our lives.
Sometimes pride is very obvious. Other times it can be subtle and hard to spot, whether in others or in ourselves.
Subtle pride in ourselves is the most dangerous kind because it can hide itself very well, leading us to think we’re not proud or haughty at all.
God has dealt with me to a very large degree about pride during the last several months. He has shown me areas of my life where pride had crept in and caused me to become haughty, mostly in subtle ways. But it was having a big effect on my life.
Let’s just say God gave me an attitude adjustment. I needed it!
I have no problem admitting this because I know that we all battle with this problem, even when we think we don’t. Maybe me admitting it to others will help others to see it in themselves.
Ask God today about pride in yourself. Ask Him to show you where you’re proud or haughty. He won’t hesitate to do so if you really mean it when you ask Him!
Let God remove your pride before it hurts you or those around you.
