📖 Verse of the Day

Reflection:

In a world that often celebrates self-promotion and arrogance, Proverbs 11:2 offers a counter-cultural perspective. It reminds us that pride, while tempting, is ultimately a path to disgrace. In contrast, humility, though often undervalued, is the key to true wisdom.

Pride can be sneaky. It can disguise itself as confidence, ambition, or even success. But at its core, pride is a dangerous illusion. It makes us believe that we are self-sufficient, that we don't need God or others. It blinds us to our own weaknesses and mistakes, setting us up for a fall.

Humility, on the other hand, is the antidote to pride. It's not about thinking less of ourselves, but thinking of ourselves less. It's recognizing that all we have and all we are is a gift from God. It's being open to learning, to correction, and to the wisdom of others.

When we embrace humility, we position ourselves to receive God's wisdom. We acknowledge our need for His guidance and strength. We become teachable, moldable, and usable in His hands.

So today, let's choose the path of humility. Let's lay down our pride and invite God to shape us with His wisdom. In a world that shouts 'Look at me!', let's whisper 'Look at Him'. For it's in the quiet posture of humility that we find true wisdom, purpose, and grace.

Ask Yourself:

• In what areas of your life do you struggle with pride the most?

• How can you practice humility in those areas today?
