Pride

When pride comes, then comes disgrace (The Bible).

We’ve all probably experienced this downfall from pride. Remember when you accomplished something worthy and how proud you were? That’s not altogether bad; it’s proper to take pride in your work. But when that pride hangs on, it often leads to arrogance. How many times have we seen this in the political world? Be real; accept applause but move on to do even better.

Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. Pride ends in humiliation, while humility brings honor. (Proverbs 11:2; 29:23)
