Proverbs 11:2 (NKJV) 2 When pride comes, then comes shame; but with the humble is wisdom.
Pride is a destroyer. Contrary to what most people are taught these days, it is not good to be proud.
Yes, we should take pride in our work with regard to doing it to the best of our ability, but this just means that we do what we should be doing. God wants us to work in all things as though we’re doing it for Him.
But pride can creep into so many areas of our lives and if we don’t recognize it, it will ruin us.
And pride can be oh so subtle. It starts a little at a time and then grows, until it has become a monster ready to devour us.
God wants us to be humble. Humility is a good thing because it allows us to hear God and accept correction when we need it.
Take a minute today to ask God if you might be getting prideful in any areas of your life. And then let’s listen intently and with an open heart for His answer.
Pride can only hurt us if we let it. So let’s root it out before it’s too late.
