Read Proverbs 13:10  Our verse tells us that at the heart of all of our problems is pride.  Like yesterday, we all would like to have a million dollars and to have the biggest and best toys of everyone around.  We want others to look at our stuff and say, “Wow!  Look at all those toys that you have!”  This is the sin of pride.  In heaven back in the beginning of the world, Lucifer, the most powerful and glorious angel, was lifted up with pride.  He thought he could do God’s job just as good as God could.  His pride caused a rebellion among God’s angels with one third of them following Lucifer’s lies.  Lucifer, whose name was changed to Satan, caused Adam and Eve to disobey their loving Creator and brought sin into God’s perfect world.  And all of this was caused by pride.  Satan thought that he was too good to listen to God.  He thought he was better than God.  Actually, pride is at the heart of all of our problems in our lives as well.  We don’t like to share and get along with others.  We are selfish and want our own way.  We think that we are better than everyone else and that we should go first.  This is pride.  We would be happier if we did things God’s way.  We would be happier if we were kind and loving and unselfish.  We would be happier if we were more like God, our heavenly Father.  Let’s look for pride in our lives today, and ask God to help us to keep it out!  Ask God to help you not to be prideful.
