Subtleties of pride

I can be prideful in a ways that is subtle and seemingly innocent. But prideful nonetheless. And the effect is equally destructive, subtle or not.

Lately I have been thoughtful and deliberate in how I spend money. But yesterday I bought something without much thinking. I was being a bit impulsive and wreckless. That was my pride in action.

Thank God the result was not too destructive, but it left quite a hole in my "wallet" nonetheless. 😳

"Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall."

~ Proverbs 16.18 NLT

Money and pride combination is quite a force that hide in subtle nuances. Undetected until I see the trail it leaves behind.

Dear God
please help me be cautious
of pride
everyday
and in everything
