Good Morning, this is Michael De Rosa and today we are looking at Proverbs 16:18
Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
This type of pride is manifested when one’s EGO starts to get in the way of anyone or anything that is critical of it. Walls then become built between people because something hidden in us that hates the light is becoming exposed and our carnal reaction is to protect it at all cost
Now some people, who have built that wall of resistance and pushed their desired agenda through to completion end up with great regrets because they get what they desired, but not what God had planned
If you have ever been in these people’s shoes, you have experienced the pain of this path
Now, let me say that there is a type of pride that is healthy, that brings men and women to a healthy acknowledgment of their identity as a child of God
And the way to honor that identity is be mindful to not allow our EGO’s to rule but to be submissive to God’s counsel.
My friends, be prayerful about pushing your agenda through
