Proverbs 11:2 - Pride Comes Before The Fall
Proverbs 11:2
2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with the humble is wisdom.
but with the humble is wisdom.
Lesson Summary
- Pride can cause us to make big statements about ourselves that ultimately lead to disgrace when we can't live up to our big talk, yet humility allows us to see ourselves the right way.
- Joy showed humility by being willing to be in the show, or just serve tables. Her humility brought her wisdom to handle the situation.
- Jesus has to put that kind of humility in our heart, a kind of humility that Paul wrote about in Philippians when He wrote that Jesus, "...though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men."
- Let's pray that Jesus would give us the same humility!
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
So many times we want to talk big about who we are and what we can do.
Give us humility like Jesus.
May we experience the wisdom that comes with humility so that we can learn how to honor others more than we honor ourselves.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
