A person’s pride will humble him, but a humble spirit will gain honour.—Proverbs 29:23 Pride is the great enemy of the Christian. Pride is an overly high opinion of yourself. It motivates you to do things that you know are not Christlike, and it hinders you from doing what brings glory to God. Pride influenced Adam and Eve to try to become like God (Gen. 3:5).Pride motivated Cain to murder his brother (Gen. 4:5). Pride provoked Josephs brothers to sell him into slavery (Gen. 37:8). Pride caused King Saul to resent David so deeply that he tried to murder him (1 Sam. 18:8). God have mercy upon us.
