DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
Students of ancient Greek drama are familiar with hubris—excessive pride—which frequently appears as the tragic flaw in the heroes of classical literature. This destructive trait subtly infiltrates and consumes its victims, blinding them to dangers and ultimately leading them to ruin. Often, they remain unaware of the warning signs until it is too late.
Long before Greek playwrights depicted the downfall caused by pride, the word of God had already issued firm warnings against it. Solomon declared in Proverbs 16:5 that “everyone that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD… he shall not be unpunished.”
He further noted in Proverbs 16:18 that “pride goeth before destruction.” Over a thousand years later, Jesus reaffirmed this truth through the parable of the Pharisee and the publican, emphasising that “every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.”
Humility is a beautiful virtue from God, while pride originates from self and Satan. A true Christian life is marked by submission to God’s will, a life where self and carnal desires are dethroned.
Pride, however, has its roots in Satan’s rebellion—his ambition to rise above God and claim equality with the Most High. If not dealt with, pride leads to spiritual decay and eventual destruction.
Thankfully, unlike the Greek tragic heroes who were scripted for doom, the Bible offers a way out for anyone trapped in pride. God, though exalted and sovereign, is full of compassion for the humble and penitent. Anyone who turns to Christ in sincere repentance and faith can escape the judgment reserved for the proud and unrepentant.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Pride is a snare of damnable proportion—avoid it!
