Pride
Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
It is better to be humble in spirit with the
lowly than to divide the spoil with the proud.
Proverbs 16:18,19 NASB

He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife:
but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool:
but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

You rebuke the proud - the cursed,

You are proud because you live in a rock fortress and make your home high in the mountains. "Who can ever reach us way up here?" you ask boastfully. Don't fool yourselves! Though you soar as high as eagles and build your nest among the stars, I will bring you crashing down. I, the LORD, have spoken!
Obadiah 1:3,4 NLT

| | Meditation 11/9-11/15: Knowing Him - Philippians 3:8-11 NLT
That I May Know Him!
Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I may have Christ and become one with him. I no longer count on my own goodness or my ability to obey God's law, but I trust Christ to save me. For God's way of making us right with himself depends on faith.
As a result, I can really know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I can learn what it means to suffer with him, sharing in his death, so that, somehow, I can experience the resurrection from the dead!
Philippians 3:8-11 NLT
