Pride Ends In Humiliation

In this world, people have made many men and women, past and present, their heroes and idols. Nevertheless, Jesus is the only true hero; He is the only One worthy of our worship and praise. Yet, how often do people today give tribute to Jesus on the news, in magazines, on talk shows, in movies, and on television? Instead, people applaud and give shouts of joy and approval to phantom gods, producing in them great pride and arrogance, and in the worshipping people disappointments in their delusions.

God tells us in His Word that His eyes watch the proud, and He promises us that He will humiliate them. This is what we are seeing today. The end is near, and God wants people to look only to Him for their rescue and salvation, not to any man or woman.

"You rescue the humble,

but your eyes watch the proud

and humiliate them."

2 Samuel 22:28 (NIV)

It is in humility and submission to God that He will rescue us and bring honour.

"Pride ends in humiliation,

while humility brings honour."

Proverbs 29:23 (NIV)
