Pride comes before the fall

proverbs 165

Day 5

God is steadfast and very patient with us all. He is always waiting on us to admit we are sinners who need a savior, for those who are lost and wandering. It is easy to get a prideful spirit even as a born again Christian. There is good news for us though! When pride whelps up inside of us,  we can always go to the Father and ask for his forgiveness and he will forgive us. We must not think we are too good for reproach, or punishment. We reap what we sow. So if we reap a harvest of pride, we will be sure to sow a fall.

We should not think we are too good to get our little spiritual behinds spanked! The Lord, like an earthly father will discipline his children as he sees fit. He has every right too as well.

  1. “YOU WILL EITHER HATE ONE AND LOVE THE OTHER, OR YOU WILL DESPISE ONE AND BE DEVOTED TO THE OTHER.”

    BE VERY CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU PLACE IN GOD’S MESSAGES.

      1. Going to a dictionary for clarification when Heaven gives clarity as to where hate must be…God trumps man’s Wisdom.

      2. Thank you. I did dig a little deeper. I was in no way trying to change God’s message. It mentions the 7 things God hates, but I still believe no matter what we are all still covered by his grace and if we acknowledge our faults and ask for forgiveness he will forgive us. Thank you for allowing me to fix my mistake.
