Proverbs 16:18
Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall.
—Proverbs 16:18
Business App
As a leader, give credit unto whom credit is due. Chances are, that’s not you.
Food for Thought
Earlier in the book of Proverbs and repeated later in the book of James is this simple but profound statement:
God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble.
Why can’t we get this? Is it so hard to remember that God is God and we are not? Before God, what of man’s accomplishments could you hold up like a trophy and honestly exclaim, “Look what I’ve done!”?
Next Steps
Humility is really simple to acquire: Read daily about what Jesus Christ said and did while on earth and for what reason. Do this on a regular basis and there’s very little chance that you will regard anything you do as worthy of pride.
