The landmine of pride,
we all step on it . . .
we all think at times
God we can outwit.
We fall into the snare,
of becoming self-reliant
but, what we really are
is being to God defiant.
The landmine of pride,
is satan’s human trap
he knows it will go off
when into our ego’s we tap.
We don’t see the danger,
until after it explodes
and all of our arrogance
God in our life exposes.
The landmine of pride,
will blow up in our face
unless we let God defuse it
with His saving grace!

and an haughty spirit before a fall.”

In order to safeguard against pride, we must ask God to help us keep a close watch on our motives, desires and thoughts. Pride is insidious.

Good thoughts on pride. The world encourages our pride, but that’s the worldly point of view. Pride will fail us in the long term. We serve God and others with humility, as Christ teaches us to live. Good poem!

Pride is found on that wide road and it is getting wider and wider everyday!

So much of the world is driven by pride and greed. It is so bad in the world and so many people will suffer because of it, both now and in the final day…
