Truth versus Pride

Wisdom to Change

 Your Word is Truth John 17:17


Truth is very essential if we want to make it in this life. It is the only road that leads us to the destination God has for us. Of course there are twist and turns, but they are only there to help us look to God. On the other hand, pride keeps you blinded to the truth. It keeps you from hearing the truth and leads you on a path of destruction. Pride keeps us from allowing God to use us for His purposes. When we do things our way, we are in no position to do things God’s way and He puts pride in the same category as murder?


Pride says my way is the right way but Truth says Lord humble me and keep me in your perfect will. Pride says everybody is doing it, but Truth says I rather serve God than live a moment of pleasure and perish in the end. Pride says I am always right and nobody can tell me anything, but Truth says Lord, I submit myself to the Lord and submit myself to those that are in authority over me.


Pride will never have a good ending because it is all about self. And the Word has much to say about pride.
Proverbs 13: By pride comes nothing but strife
Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before the fall
Proverbs 29:23 A man’s pride will bring him low


Mark 7:21-23 For from within, out of the heart of mean, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, and evil eye, blasphemy, PRIDE, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man.


Truth will always lead you on a path that’s everlasting. The Word says God is Truth, so you shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free. When you rely strictly on the Truth of God’s Word, this TRUTH will lead you on a smooth path (Psalms 27:11). When you take God at His Word, truth will reside in you to walk upright. The more truth that is in you will cause you to walk in truth and your Heavenly Father has no greater joy than to know that His children are walking in the Truth. Pride will always leave you in ruins when you let it rule and reign in your life, so choose to walk in the truth of God’s Word which will only lead to a life that’s fruitful and full of the blessings.


Have a Beautiful Day
