Pride is the thing that can so easily take us down and out. It can be blinding. That’s what we see in Saul in 1 Samuel 15. Saul has been so focused on himself that he loses touch with reality. Pride manifests itself in many different ways, and Saul’s story shows us that insecurity is one way it can show up in our lives. Let’s consider how pride sneaks into our own lives and ask God to replace it with humility by pointing us to our example, Jesus.
