“Pride and Humility…” You can spot a “proud spirit” in a person a mile away. “Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18
The ancient city of Tyre was one of the most wealthy in the world in Bible days, but the heart of the King was lifted up and haughty, like Satan himself. In Ezekiel 26, God tells that He would destroy Tyre and make her “like the top of a rock. It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea.” God prophesied that this city would be “underwater.” Later, the King of Babylon came to destroy it and 250 years later, Alexander the Great did the same. God hates a “proud spirit, but blesses the humble.” James 4:10
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and he shall lift you up.” Have a great day in the Lord!
