11 The Lord detests dishonest scales,
but accurate weights find favor with him.
but accurate weights find favor with him.
2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.
but with humility comes wisdom.
3 The integrity of the upright guides them,
but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.
but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.
but righteousness delivers from death.
The Lord is justice, hates sin and promotes justice! I want to concentrate on this verse:
When pride comes, then comes disgrace.
Pride is something that we all have and some thing that is very dangerous in all of us. It blinds us from the circumstance.
Firstly what is pride?
Pride is a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of one's close associates, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired.
Lets all be honest and admit that we all have experienced pride before. It may be an award, a race medal, a scholarship, something and anything. Something that we are proud of, to show to our world. And that is dangerous. When that happens firstly we bring glory to ourselves, not to God. Next, we think that we are already there, no one can actually beat us. No one can defeat us in that area, basically we are king. But that is not true. It bring about complacency into us and we are just blinded by pride.
Remember when the next time you think pride is overtaking you remember
When pride comes, then comes disgrace but with humility comes wisdom.
