God’s Word concerning Pride – Part 1

Proverbs 16:5 TLB (The Living Bible)

Pride disgusts the Lord. Take my word for it-proud men shall be punished. 

Prov 16:5 - NLT (New Living Translation)

The Lord detests the proud; they will surely be punished.

Prov 16:5 MSG (The Message Bible)

God can't stomach arrogance or pretense; believe me, he'll put those upstarts in their place.

The scripture is very plain as regards pride. God hates THE PROUD but gives grace to the humble. It is pride that caused Satan’s fall, still the same pride that made Adam & Eve to elevate themselves against GOD’S WORD by eating the forbidden fruit (Gen 3:4). Pride is one of Satan's weapon in making the great to fall

Fear - granddaddy of all wrong thinking

Granddaddy of all wrong thinking: "I'm afraid."

Fear is at the root of just about every negative thing
that happens in our lives. We’re afraid of failing,
afraid of being alone, or rejected; afraid of running
out of money; afraid that people will let us down;
that we won’t find a spouse, or a job; and the list goes
on and on. All fear is rooted in the core belief that
God’s Word won’t work. For example, the fear of not
having enough is rooted in the fear that Phil. 4:19
isn’t true. If you believe that “God will supply all
your needs according to His riches...” then fear
