The Problem of Pride

“Let nothing be done through selfish ambitions or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.”
Philippians 2:3
 

What is pride? Webster Dictionary describes it as an overly high opinion of oneself; or haughtiness and arrogance. Have you ever been around a very prideful person? They are not easy to get along with. A prideful person is consumed with “self.” Life revolves around them. This kind of person is critical, looking down on other people while elevating themselves. In all, a prideful person talks about themselves, promotes themselves, lifts themselves up, makes themselves better than others, and holds a false image of themselves.

We need to understand the seriousness of this sin. Pride destroys others and us.

Thought for the Day:
The prideful person spends all their time
And energy of themselves.
