The Enemy Called Pride

Commit to Memory: “Pride leads to destruction, and arrogance to downfall. (Proverbs 16:18 GNT)

Pride is very subtle and dangerous that even the personality that portrays it will even argue and hardly see that he or she has pride. What an enemy pride is that it has sent many high fliers to their early grave. Today’s commit to memory says the pathway to destruction is pride and arrogance is the gateway to the dungeon. See what Proverbs 11:2 ESV says:

“When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.”

Beloved pride goes before a fall. There is no man born of a woman that is infallible. It is for this reason we must be watchful of the things we arrogate to ourselves and how we carry ourselves because it can lead to our downfall. In other words if you think you are very powerful, such that everything and everyone answers to you. No one dares talk to you or rebuke you when wrong, you are always on the right in your own eyes and by your very standard, then watch it beware of the enemy called pride. Beware of pride.

Reflection: God’s mercy cannot be express in the life of a proud man.

Prayer Lines: Father, search me through and through and consume every pride in my life.
