“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” — Proverbs 16:18
“The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies.” — Psalm 58:3
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” — Galatians 5:22-23

Have you ever had a moment when you felt unstoppable, maybe because of your talents or accomplishments? It’s easy to let that feeling of confidence turn into pride. Proverbs 16:18 warns us about the danger of pride, which can cause us to stumble. When we think we’re above others or better than we truly are, we can set ourselves up for a fall.
In Psalm 58, we’re reminded that sin is a part of human nature, starting from birth. It’s not just about big acts of rebellion—it’s also in the smaller, subtle ways we hurt others or make decisions apart from God. But here's the good news: we don’t have to stay stuck in sin.
Galatians 5:22-23 tells us about the fruit of the Spirit—qualities like love, peace, and kindness—that can transform our hearts. When we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us, He helps us rise above the stumbles of pride and selfishness.
