S – Everyone with a proud heart is detestable to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished
Proverbs 16:5 CSB
O – God detests the proud, who refuse to commit their ways to the Lord (16:3) and mistakenly believe that they can accomplish their plans on their own (16:1).
New Living Translation Study Bible
A – When we disobey God or pursue our agenda outside of God, unhealthy pride is involved. We are saying “We don’t need or want you” in our lives. It is haughty and puts us in the center of our life instead of Christ. Instead, we need to invite God into our lives and each day.
R – Heavenly Father, we worship and surrender to you today. We invite you to be in our thoughts, words and actions. We invite you to lead and be in a relationship with us as we face today. Give us the courage to obey your commands. Give us the hearts to love you and others fiercely.
