The fruit of pride is heavy and abundant and bitter.

And pride itself is sneaky and deceptive and often well camouflaged.

I know.

Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. —1 Peter 5:6.

Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. Be not wroth very sore, O Lord, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see we beseech thee, we are all thy people. —Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the Lord my God. Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth. —It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

Affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

Prov. 16:5. Isa. 64:8,9. -Jer. 31:18,19. -Lam. 3:27. Job 5:6,7.

Egotism, self-promotion, pride — repent of it lest it consume you and your potential and your dreams!

What God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?—DEUT. 3:24.

Who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord? O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee? —Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. —For thy word’s sake, and according to thine own heart hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them. Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit. —The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those thing which are revealed belong unto us and to our children.

Psa. 89:6,8. -Psa. 86:8. -II Sam. 7:21,22. I Cor. 2:9,10. -Deut. 29:29.
