Proverbs 11:2 (NKJV) 2 When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.
No matter where we are at in life, it’s always important that we remain humble and teachable.
We can be the CEO of a major company or we can be jobless and without a place to live. No matter what our position or situation in life, humility is a critical attribute that we always need to pursue.
Sometimes we can get ourselves into some pretty deep trouble when we get prideful. We may not even know we’ve become proud or haughty, but God will always be willing to give us an attitude adjustment when we need it!
And let’s just say that it’s much better for us if we recognize our pridefulness and make the adjustments ourselves than for God to have to do it for us.
And pride can creep into our lives in such subtle ways that we might never believe it if someone told us that we’re proud.
So let’s do some inventory of our life today. Have we become prideful or boastful about anything lately?
Are we holding our heads high because of some of our accomplishments or because of our financial status?
There can be many, many things that we get prideful about. But none of them is worth us getting into hot water with God and causing Him to have to rebuke us and correct us.
Let’s check ourselves and root out that terrible thing called pride, before it causes us to fall.
