The Dangers of Pride
Pride is a dangerous attitude because it makes a person think they are always right and do not need God’s guidance. When pride controls the heart, people often make wrong decisions and follow the wrong direction in life. Pride closes our ears to correction, wisdom, and God’s Word. Instead of trusting God, a proud person trusts their own understanding.
The Bible teaches that pride leads to destruction and failure, while humility brings wisdom and God’s favor. A Christian must guard their heart against pride and learn to stay humble before God. When we humble ourselves, we allow God to guide our decisions and lead us in the right path.
Proverbs 16:18 (KJV)
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”
Proverbs 11:2 (KJV)
“When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.”
Choose humility over pride, because humility allows God to direct your life.
