Pride:Christ warned of those who trusted in themselves that they were righteous but despised others. (Luke. 18:9-14). " In these last days, men shall be lovers of their ourselves, proud, heady,and high-minded. " (II Timothy. 3:1-5).Lucifer was kicked out of heaven because of his self-exaltation ( Isaiah. 14:12) " Be not rash with Thursday mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth. Therefore let that words be few. " ( Ecclesiastes. 5:2).Jesus said, " And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted " (Mtthew. 23:12). " God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and he shall lift you up. " (James. 4:6-10)." When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. " (Proverbs 11:2). " Be humble and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honor, and life . " (Proverbs. 22:4).Before honor is humility. (Proverbs..15:33). " Pride goeth before destruction, and haughty spirit goeth before a fall." (Proverbs. 16:18).Paul said, "To every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits (Romans. 12:3).(Proverbs.29:22). Says "A man's pride shall bring him low; but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.May the Lord our God be with you all and may he keep his watching eyes on you and your families and keep you all safe in Jesus name I pray Amen God bless you all.
