Verse of the day - Proverbs 16:18 (NRSV)
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
In chapter 5 of my first book, Jesus speaks to us about pride.
Excerpt from Spirituality, A Journey For My Soul
How I desire My dear children to stay away from being too proud of themselves. It is only by Me that you achieve great things. Many times when someone becomes successful in life, they feel like it was all due to their hard work. This is not the case. I have a hand in everything you do. Do not forget that. It's okay to be proud of what you accomplish in life, just do not forget about Me.
Pride is when we think too highly of ourselves. This is one of the most common sins that needs to be uprooted from our hearts. It's okay to be proud of our achievements but we must remember that God is the one who makes all things possible. Pride is a dangerous thing when it causes us to become self-centered. When we become self-centered, we accept the credit for everything we have achieved and do not give any credit to God. This is something that needs to be avoided. We must always remember to give glory and attention to God when we achieve great things.
