DAY 13

God Bless you people of God,

I encourage you to not give up on your journey. If you missed a day or two just pick back up. God still continues to bless through these readings.

Focus Text: Proverb 13:10

pride only brings quarrels but wisdom is found in those who take advice

Reflection: First of all read the focus text several times. Pride is a serious issue in the life of many people. Pride will make us do some strange things. Pride makes us neglect good advice. Pride makes us argue with people when we know that we are wrong. Pride makes us act out of character in public because someone tried to embarrass us. Pride makes us lie when it is unnecessary. Pride makes us do some strange things.

Some where in our life we must learn how to deal with our pride and take advice. If we claim to know everything how can God speak to us? Sometimes God sends some of the most unlikely people to give us advice. If our pride says that people are too young, too old, too ugly, too immoral, too black, too white, too anything to speak to us, it is very likely that we have missed out on good advice. Even hypocrites can give good advice.

Consider this: Where in your life have you struggled with pride?
