Pride the Assassin

Pride is an assassin. It seeks to build us up so that it can take us down. Everything that goes up must come down, right? The tricky thing about pride is that we can be blind to it. Pride is easy to see in others, but often very difficult to see in ourselves.

God has given us a bodyguard against pride, arrogance and vanity. Humility acts as protector of our soul. It causes us to see ourselves rightly, not just lowly. This why God tells us in James 4:10 to humble ourselves.

Be on guard today with humility.
