Do you really know what pride means?
For years I thought I knew the true meaning of Pride being arrogant, boastful or having self-confidence. Since becoming a Christ follower I realized that pride comes in many different facets and that this is the main thing that keeps us from God and out of humility. The main meaning is I can do it myself; I do not need support. Being boastful, something like “my kid is an honor student; is yours?â€
We see in our lives where we take charge and forget to seek the Holy Spirits guidance. One of the big ones for me is I love to help people but have a difficult time accepting help from others or because of low self-esteem I do things to gain validation. In some ways I feel that I know the best way to do something and expect others to do it my way, it took me a long time to realize that there are lots of ways to do something and I can accept others ways (Simply what Christ taught “GRACEâ€). I could go on and on with this subject and in my program/book “Conquering Chaos with Love†I get a little more into depth.
Where in your life can you exhibit more humility?
Psalm 10:4 in his pride the wicked does not seek him: in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
