Proverbs 16: Pride

Pride is something we are all guilty of it at one time or another.

Sometimes we get so caught up in our accomplishments or achievements that we fail to realize all the things we have done wrong or are incapable of doing.

Verse 18 of this chapter says, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”

Destruction follows our pride. If we think more highly of ourselves than we should, we will fall, and it will be revealed that we are not as good as we appear.

Let's instead look at ourselves in a true light, recognizing our sin and weaknesses rather that being puffed up in our own mind.
