“One’s pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.”
Proverbs 29:23 ESV
Pride
In many ways, our culture has become very self-centered to the point of feeling proud of our own self-worth. Why do we praise pride? I believe it takes our focus off God who deserves all our focus and praise. We can feel joy for doing our best, but I believe pride merely tries to conceal something which we do not want others to discover—ultimately our own powerlessness without the power of God.
