PRIDE- The Devils Snare

Proverbs 13:10

Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advise.

Pride is not a friend that helps you in any avenue of life. It hinders growth and understanding. God calls us to be humble (Proverbs 16:19). How can God lift you up on higher ground if you have already hoisted yourself up on a shaky ground? (James 4:10)  Pride does not allow room for God. It takes over and clouds your judgement. ( Psalm 10:4) Humility and wisdom cannot flourish in a wasteland of pride. God wants us to bask in his glory and be blessed abundantly. But when we allow pride to overthrow our hearts, we are forced away from glory. ( Daniel 5:20) 

Humility and Wisdom are the best weapons against pride. Pray to God for a humble heart and wisdom to accept advise and help. 

It is not weak of a man to lower himself and gain wisdom, it is weak of a man to allow pride to carry him into destruction. -Faith. Hope.Love
