“Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall” 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 (NASB). Never forget your own weakness and inadequacy. Beware of overconfidence. Be careful of boasting. He, who alone is worthy of praise, cannot tolerate pride from the arrogant and self-sufficient. Pride will catch up to you and will be your own downfall. Instead, fall down before Him and give Him due and frequent praise.
“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18 (NRSV)
