Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 16:18 (NIV)
Dearest Lord, I have done it again. I allowed myself to be all high and mighty in my work. And it was while I was volunteering in the church! Oh dear.
Someone actually had to call me out. I could have gotten really miffed; except I knew my coworker was right. I had a chip on my shoulder. What I was thinking? I let the enemy puff me up, and sure enough, I ran with it. Lord, next time, may I sense what is happening so that I do not travel down that pitiful path called pride.
Questions for Pondering…
How do I feel when I have clothed myself in a haughty spirit?
How can I avoid this temptation in the future?
