Pride is the 😈
In the good book the Lord said ‘ He who humbles himself shall be made great.’ I don’t know exactly in what book that was written but essentially you get the gist of it at least.
When you think of the word pride, does it strike you as positive or negative? There are certainly many positive types of pride. It’s good to “take pride in our work.” We like it when someone tells us, “I’m proud of you.” And nearly everyone wants to live in a neighborhood where people display “pride of ownership.” All of these expressions communicate a positive kind of pride: dignity, respect and honor, traits that we all can embrace.
But pride isn’t always positive. Pride can also mean conceit, arrogance, or superiority. This kind of pride is based on self-centeredness, and it’s destructive.
Im not here to shame or point fingers at any one with shame, because we all have a certain degree of pride in us all. Pride keeps us from doing the most ridiculous things and taking them normal. Pride makes you work harder to be able to provide. Having some of it in decent quantities is okay. But having a lot of it tends to bring about issues.
Will Pride Destroy You ?
- Pride comes before a fall
- Too much pride will destroy you
- Proverbs 16:18–29
18 Pride will destroy a person; a proud attitude leads to ruin.
19 It is better to be humble and be with those who suffer than to share stolen property with the proud.
These were taken from the good book so rest assure pride will definitely destroy you.
You’re going to make mistakes. The key is to learn from them as fast as possible and make changes as soon as you can. That’s not always easy to do because ego and pride get in the way, but you have to put all that aside and look at the big picture.
