Wisdom Tip Of The Week

Wisdom Tip: God gives grace to the humble but opposes the proud.



So often in this country we are too proud that we turn our backs on God. Some of us tend to sit back and think we know more than God. If you actually think that is true then answer me this how did you get created then? You can't create yourself and make yourself born. Another thing that has happened in this country is the way of thinking in this world and even in the churches. some churches are so proud that they treat the Bible like a smorageboard picking and choosing which scriptures we want to obey. I look at it this way the Old Testament applies as much to our lives as the New Testament does. So many times in our lives we become too proud and God has to bring us back and put us in spiritual check. Other ways is some of us have more money than others and we look down on others who don't have money and think we are better than them. Some people have came from people who have money and the truth is if you didn't work for the money then you have no right to be confident about having money. There are just so many subjects that can relate to pride. Another thing is people who act so proud because there in church every single week and think that they are automatically going to heaven and can act any way they want whether it be prideful, rude, stuckup. Yes it is important to go to church but if you don't try and live out the scriptures then going to church really is nothing. We can become so prideful too in thinking we know someone only to come to find out that we didn't really know them at all. I can relate to a situation in high school where there was this beautiful female and I thought that just by looking at her that she was a stuck up female boy was I ever wrong. She is actually one of the sweetest classmates that I ever knew and will actually be kind enough to say hi to me when i see her out in public. You could ever say don't judge a book by it's cover could relate to pride many times. Some Women become so proud in how they look that they will use there bodies to get a man to do what she wants, or will use there bodies to try and move up in a position at work. While there is nothing wrong with being confident and enjoying how beautiful you look it's when it turns into arrogance that a woman's looks will become vain. I'm sure that someone could think about something that I may have missed on in pride. So share your experiences about pride.
