Pride

"Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom."
Proverbs 11:2

This is a hard one to wrap your mind around. Society tells us we should be proud of what we do, we should "flaunt it" or "shake what your momma gave ya". However, we need to remember that while society says one thing, God has our best interest at heart and says another.

Too much pride can lead to your downfall, and it is also a sin. It's easy to be proud of something we have accomplished, we put hard work into completing activities and reaching goals we have set -- "but with humility comes wisdom." The humble gain wisdom from being so after they have climbed their personal mountain.

(Chapter Devotion)
