When Pride Comes, Then Comes Disgrace!
Pride can be person’s downfall. How serious is it?
Proverbs 11:2 (ESV) contrasts pride with humility.
“When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with the humble is wisdom.”
If you have a problem with pride, it is time to change. Reject prideful thoughts, and humble yourself in the face of the Lord.

Vanity Fair!
John Bunyan in The Pilgrim’s Progress wrote about how temptations come in all forms. In that novel, he wrote about the town called Vanity Fair to illustrate his point.
1 John 2:15-16 (ESV) has a message about the enticements of the world:
“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.”
Believers’ citizenship is in heaven. Philippians 3:20 says,
“But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Don’t be tempted and trapped by the love of the world.

Humiliation or Honor?
Proverbs 29:23 (ESV) draws a stark contrast.
“One’s pride will bring him low,
but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.”
The notes to Proverbs 29:23 in the English Standard Version of the Bible say, “Paradoxically, pride brings humiliation while humility bring honor.”
Micah 6:8 (ESV) says,
“He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?”
Let God direct your paths, and remain humble.

When Pride Comes, then Comes Disgrace!
Pride can be person’s downfall. How serious is it? Mark 7:20-23 (ESV) is quoting Jesus.
“And he said, “’What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.’”
Proverbs 11:2 (ESV) contrasts pride with humility.
“When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with the humble is wisdom.”
