Pride can take shape even in the most positive environments. Helping others can turn into pride as we start to think no one can do it as well as we can. It can be a relationship with someone else simply because you love to be adored. It can be wanting the right job for the reason of being adored or so others will respect you. Pride does everything for itself and not for others.
We are starting a new series today that takes a trek through the book of Proverbs. Proverbs is not a linear book that travels a straight path from A to B, it is a textual/topical book with wisdom shared from various sages throughout the of the best Old Testament periods. Proverbs is about wisdom that teaches us to live in true freedom. As followers of Jesus we aren’t against the culture in which we live, we are for creating something that honors Jesus in all things.
