Pride Is a Killer

Saturday's Devotion (6-21-08)

"A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit." Proverbs 29:23 (KJV)

First off, I'm sorry... Somehow I lost a day. I don't know if the devotion posted for the 19th was for the 20th or not, but I feel like I did it for the 20th! So, I'm sorry if I missed a day. It's been hectic for me.

Pride is a cancer. It's a cancer that can completely destroy our lives... It tears our life down a little bit at a time, and sometimes it's a lot more than a little bit at a time. People quit their jobs with no other way to support their families because of pride, people do all kinds of crazy things because their pride gets hurt. People kill because of pride! Pride is a killer, we cannot allow that killer to take hold of us.

The humble are the people who survive, well not just survive they thrive. People who are too prideful to ask for help, when we all need help are the people who don't make ends meet. They don't survive. To me pride is another word for stupid! Are you stupid? Oops, I mean prideful?

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this message and for all things. Please forgive us of all our sins as we forgive all those who've sinned against us. Please help us to lay down our pride at the feet of Jesus. Don't let pride consume us and destroy our lives. Let us be humble in spirit. In Jesus name. A-men!

God bless!
