An amazing thing happens with pride, we think we are not prideful and we are. It sneaks up on us almost without warning. Like the devo indicated, we really are forgetting about God. We think we are good. We think we can do it all. We think we will not have to be accountable. It is dangerous! Humility is the antidote!
Pride is our way of lifting our self up. When we humble our self before God, He will lift us up.
God bless you,

Pride comes at me in different ways. It has cost me in the past when I thought I was better than I really was. Pretty painful lesson and it not only affected me but my family. I sometimes get a feeling that I have been left out when I should have been included. This is pride. I have to turn this feeling over to God. Sometimes pride makes me feel that I need to be involved in a lot of different activities and this can lead to burn out or overload. It affects me and my family again. Pride and Motive go hand in hand. Why do I do what I do? For the attention? For God? For others? For myself? Father, help me to daily turn to you for guidance in my thoughts and activities so that I will bring honor and glory to you and not to myself.
