God detests pride. Pride first starts from our heart. We feel good when we’ve achieved something. It makes us proud. Have we forgotten that our achievement is from God?
It is true that God allow us to experience heartbreak or disappointment in order to break the bonds of pride in us. Pride invades our life as we see it through our personhood, success, possession and position.
Often we view personal success on the basis of personal achievement, wealth and possession accumulation. This is a subjective judgment and no one can tell how good is good enough. The Bible reminds us wealth is temporary as compared with God’s eternity love. All the things that we have – wealth, possession, position, etc- are from God. Instead of feeling good and showing off to others, let’s use these gifts to honor God.
Let God searches our heart and we should be humble under his mighty hand for pride causes us to fall and bring disgrace.
