Ever heard these definitions of pride?
"Pride is the root of every sin and evil."
"Pride means 'straining or stretching one's neck'; 'to magnify, to be haughty.' "
"Pride is a focus on self and a form of self-worship."
"Pride believes all things should be from us and through us, to us and for us."
"Pride is competitive toward others, and especially toward God."
"Pride wants to be on top."
"Pride seeks to ungod God."
Countless godly people have fallen or failed to achieve all God had for them because of pride.
It can happen to us, too, if we don't become deliberate about spotting and removing pride from our lives. It's not something we do only once. Pride checking must be done every day for the rest of our lives if we want to be all we can be in God, maximize our input for the kingdom, and finish strong.
Come along with me for Broadcast 31. Let's take the prideless journey together. Letâs be deliberate about keeping a check on pride. Let's acknowledge each day our helpless dependence upon God. And when we do, He will raise us up and exalt us. After all, that's the only true path to greatness in His eyes.
