Pride

Good morning all who are still fighting the good fight of faith.

"Who has brought this disaster on Tyre,
  that great creator of kingdoms?
Her traders were all princes,
  her merchants were nobles.
The LORD of Heaven's Armies has done it
  to destroy your pride
  and bring low all earth's nobility."

Isaiah 23:8–9

What God hates is human pride—the kind of pride that says, "I don't need God." The kind of pride that seeks to be great apart from God. Again and again in Scripture, God says he opposes the proud. He wants us to be like trusting children, looking to him for every need, every breath we take. That kind of attitude goes against the world … but reaches God's heart every time.
