Day 134 – Desist from Pride

“Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom” Proverbs 13:10

Pride, if allowed in your heart is not wisdom. Many disputes and quarrels can be avoided if we resist pride. Pride has a lot to do with an elevation of personal ego. A man will never act in pride if he is wise.

Look at this scripture in other version of the bible and it will bless you.

Pride is a spirit that manifests in our attitudes. It tends to exaggerate your gifting and capabilities. You feel insulted because of pride. You feel insulted because you think you are worth more than what people present you to be. Pride kills, and before it kills you, you must determine to kill it in your life. It states clearly in our devotional scripture today that we should desist from pride.

Proverbs 14:3 says ‘In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, but the lips of the wise will preserve them’. It is only a foolish person that will speak with pride in his mouth. One thing we know is that pride is a thing of the heart. Check your heart and run away from pride; ask God to help you, and it will be well with, in Jesus name. May God bless your day, amen.
