PRIDE PUFFS UP

There is nothing into which the heart of man so easily falls as pride. And yet there is no vice that is more frequently, more emphatically, and more eloquently condemned in Scripture. -Spurgeon

1 Corinthians 13:4, Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

We have all seen them; the individual so full of themselves that they can barely fit through the door because they have the big head. It’s kind of sad though, especially in the church. The Bible speaks so much about pride, arrogancy, and the results of each.

Pride will puff you up, friend. However, a loving, giving, sacrificial heart will promote others, push others to good works or right choices, and provide for others when the flesh desires to go the opposite way. Will you be puffed up today or will you humble yourself before the mighty hand of God?
