Positive Quote for the Week-Pride is your downfall!
“Don’t let pride be your downfall, make it your mission to stay humble in all situations!” Erica Willis
The Lord does not sugarcoat the fact that He absolutely loathes pride, and He makes it very clear all throughout Scripture. In fact Satan was cast out of Heaven because he was under the impression that he could actually compete with God Almighty, Isaiah 14:12-14. Boy was he sadly mistaken!
When the Lord is talking about pride He is referencing conceit, arrogance, big headedness, being stuck on yourself, etc. He is not referring to the kind of pride that a father would have for their child after something that they have accomplished. This is a healthy emotion for us to have. Egotism on the other hand can get us into a lot of trouble.
Pride will most definitely block your blessings. It makes you puffed up to the point where you feel like you can do it all yourself when the fact is that none of us can. As Christians we are up against a powerful adversary that is coming straight for your jugular. Without the power of God we are not going to stand a chance to overcome his tactics. That is why we need to approach every aspect of our lives with the spirit of humility.
Scriptures pertaining to Pride
Isaiah 2:12 “For the day of the Lord of hosts shall come upon everything proud and lofty, upon everything lifted up—And it shall be brought low—“
James 4:6 “But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”
Proverbs 11:2 “When pride comes, then comes shame; but with the humble is wisdom.”
Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”
Proverbs 29:23 “A man’s pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honor.”
