Pride

For I say...to everyone...not to think of himself more highly than he ought. (Romans 12:3)

A man who had just been elected to...Parliament brought his family to London and was giving them a tour of the city. When they entered Westminster Abbey, his 8-year-old daughter seemed awestruck.... Curious, [the proud father] asked, "And what, my child, are you think about?" She replied, "Daddy, I was just thinking about how big you are in our house, but how small you look here!"

One thing that stands out in the Word of God is that the Lord despises the haughty... If we ask the Holy Spirit to help us see ourselves as we really are, He will enable us to control our foolish pride.
