Bible Verse of The Day – 9-16-19

Proverbs 11:2 (NKJV) 2 When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.

Have you ever had your mind made up about something, and nobody can convince you otherwise, no matter how much truth you see showing you that you’re wrong about it?

That is pride in action.

Pride is a destroyer of many things; relationships, careers, families, opportunities, and much more.

Pride can even destroy our destiny if we’re not careful. Look what satan said when pride swallowed him up.

Isaiah 14:14 (NKJV) 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’

And did you know that stubbornness is actually a form of pride in many cases? Some people confuse persistence with stubbornness, but being stubborn can lead to much destruction if we’re not careful.

Every one of us has some amount of pride in us. We can appear to be humble. We can even think we’re humble. But if we let God shine His light on us, and we are 100% honest, we will begin to see areas in our lives where we are prideful.

And once we see it, we need to take action to let God root it out. It’s not optional if we truly want to live lives that are pleasing to God and fruitful for His kingdom.

Proverbs 16:18 (NKJV) 18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.
