Pride goes before destruction...


...and a haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 16:18. Or how The Message puts it: First pride, then the crash. The bigger the ego, the harder the fall.


At the very root of all the other sins people commit is pride. 
  • It doesn't let people see their own mistakes
  • It makes them resistant to change
  • It makes them stubborn
  • It gives them an inflated view of themselves
  • It destroys relationships
  • It makes people think they're better than others
  • It leads them to think they know everything, "Who is so-and-so to teach me anything?"
  • It drives them to loneliness
  • It results in their ultimate fall
  • It leads them to the its source: Lucifer.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11.29

Pride may be leading you to your destruction and fall right now. Wake up.
