PRIDE: THAT EVIL STING (a reminder)
1Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
It is always said that what brought Satan down and made him loose all his glory was that sting called pride.
Proverbs 15:25
The LORD will destroy the house of the proud, but He will establish the boundary of the widow.
James 4:6
But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
Pride could mean you forgetting who is in charge, God, then placing yourself in His place. The Lord may not act immediately but when He does the result is not pleasant.
Isaiah 42:8
I am the LORD, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to graven images.
When we place ourself in God's place we find it easy to find faults in others, we always feel offended and rarely see ourselves offending others.
Pride will make one always see oneself above others, always the one needed to be apologized to, wanting to be reverenced, always desiring to intimidate and love to be given, never thinking of giving.
Pride would make your prayer more of a monologue, not patient enough to hear God.
Pride will not allow spouses express full love to themselves always
cautious never wanting to be stepped on.
It is important not to confuse Pride with good
*Leadership
*Discipline
*Correction
*Self Respect
and other virteous characters.
May the Holy Spirit grant us grace to see when pride would want to overtake us and by His helping hand
keep us in check that we may not derail.
1Corinthians 13:4-5
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
May we be known of God as "the humble"
God bless you.
Love
