Though the LORD is great, he cares for the humble, but he keeps his distance from the proud. - Psalm 138:6
I've been thinking about pride. As soon as I start to judge someones pride and point a finger, I see three fingers pointing back to me. So cheesy but so true.
I have a friend who's very humble. Almost to the point of being self deprecating. Sometimes he'll compare himself to other people. Bad idea! His humility does a reverse on him and turns into pride.
I've got a similar situation, a thorn in my side. What do I do when someone is prideful of the things they do & rub it in my face when I've done the exact same thing? ...& never boasted. The very thought of this boastful person makes me angry (red flag!) which tells me that I'm not as humble as I thought.
Always a work in progress,

pride...it's a tricky little thing that weasels its way into our spirit huh? it's so, so sneaky.
