Pride comes before destruction,
and an arrogant spirit before a fall.
...
There is a way that seems right to a person,
but its end is the way to death.
Proverbs 16:18,25
Observation: The Lord is very clear in these words. Prideful people do what they want and what feel is right in their lives, but without the Lord's direction, it isn't. Such actions lead to a fall, and to death.
Application: I am struggling right now to find the Lord's direction and instructions. I am also struggling with doing my own things. So the Lord reminds me today that this is my old nemesis - pride - returning.
Prayer: Lord, please give me more strength, and far, far less pride. Amen.
