—Proverbs 11:1-8
by: Richard Crouch.
When we think of evils to avoid, pride often doesn’t make the list. But it can be a big stumbling block in our lives. Sometimes we are too proud to admit mistakes or seek help. We’re too arrogant to acknowledge the contributions of others. Our pride can destroy friendships and alienate sources of help.
The real danger is how it affects our relationship with God. When we try to put ourselves up on a pedestal next to God, he quickly puts us in our place back on the ground. Everything good in our lives comes from God. Give credit where credit is due.
