S – Arrogance leads to nothing but strife, but wisdom is gained by those who take advice.
Proverbs 13:10 CSB
O – Commentary:
Pride (zāḏôn, from zîḏ, “to boil”; cf. 11:2) means an unyielding arrogance. Such an inflated, know-it-all view of oneself leads to quarreling, in contrast with a humble, wise spirit that makes one willing to learn and take advice
“Proverbs,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures
A – Pride can be as demonstrative as a know-it-all or as subtle as I will not yield. We need to stay close to the Holy Spirit to help us discern the difference between confidence and pride. Confidence is a healthy belief in who you are and in the full capacity of your gifting. Arrogance is being vocal about it. Usually, pride is a false confidence based on insecurity and over-importance.
R – Father, we surrender and worship You. You alone are worthy of our praise and honor today. Give us discernment to know how to walk in confidence today. Please help us to see pride in our lives so we can deal with it. We want to walk with you today without fear or pride.
