Wisdom and Humility - (Proverbs 3:7. 3:13) Bible Verse(s) Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding. Reading Notes One of the sins we need to watch for as Christians is pride and arrogance. This can happen because of our salvation and the works of our hands. Like the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector we need to be careful and prayerful that our faith does not become a source of pride. We should not lift ourselves above others. Satan would love to use us to discourage those who are lost and keep someone from the Kingdom of God. >Instead we are to help one another as in serving the Lord with humility. The other danger with developing an attitude of pride is that it keeps us from reaching those who do not know Christ. Often times when we develop pride over our religious activities we want to show those off by involving ourselves only in social circles that allow us to display our Christian skills. When that happens we can forget to serve those in need and we can quickly develop a heart that has grown cold to those who do not know Jesus.
