By pride comes nothing but strife

"By pride comes nothing but strife, But with the well-advised is wisdom." (Prov 13:10)

Are we cheerful because we belong to Christ? Does His love comfort us? Is the Holy Spirit our companion? Has Christ been gentle and loving toward us? We shouldn't do anything only to get ahead. Shouldn't do it because we are proud. Instead, be free of pride. Think of others as better than ourselves. We should think in the same way Christ did. In His very nature He was God. But He did not think that being equal with God. Instead, he made himself nothing. He took on the very nature of a servant. He was made in human form. He appeared as a man. He came down to the lowest level. He obeyed God completely, even it led to his death on the cross. (Php 2:1-8) All these... we can never do in our own strength but only through Him we give up our pride. Hear Him!
