—Isaiah 13:9-22
by: Aubrey Appel.
The Babylonians' pride brought God's wrath, as our pride brings the same anger that stirred thousands of years ago. What are you too prideful about? It is easy for Christians to overlook pride in their walks with Christ. Sometimes, we call it something else: piety, religiousness, etc. It is also easy to get swept up in the pride of Christian traditions. However, Paul writes in Romans 12:3 that we should never think more highly of ourselves than we ought to think, but rather be humbled and boast only in the Lord. God's wrath towards the Babylonians illustrates that pride in anything but God will bring about punishment and darkness.
