Perils of Pride

Everybody struggles with pride. And while I won't get into original sin today, it's essentially misplaced confidence. Like how I'm so proud of all my humility! But in all seriousness, as our protector and provider, God hates that. No matter how innocently we might stumble into it. So I've studied various aspects of both realities, so you don't have to. And if you'll honor me with your reading for a bit, let's get into it!

     Our pride can make us feel secure, but it's a false security. We actually leave ourselves way more vulnerable, because when we don't quite grasp our own weakness, it then opens us up to danger, and that's why God disciplines people to prevent it. Because if noboy ever told you not to, you'd enjoy things like running in traffic.

      It not only makes us feel secure, but it convinces us that we're our own only hope. And whenever that happens, we don't respect the sovereignty of God, but more than that, we also ignore the needs of our neighbors. Which would lead us to a total collapse of society , whilst also resisting the one Being who actually sustains it. As obviously misguided as that sounds from afar, we can find ouselves doing that all the time.

     Ultimately, because it's baseless, all this misplaced confidence will be reckoned with. God is righteous, giving everyone exactly what they deserve.This is why He has promised to bring low the arrogant, and to likewise bless the meek. And with that in mind, I feel like the choice of options is easy. It might seem difficult at times. Just remember. He's promised you a helper in every need. Plus, He's overcome everything!

I hope that blessed you. For a little more, check out voiceintha on blogspot, facebook, X, and instagram       Thanks!
