Landmines: Pride

Landmines: Pride by ric Gustafson


Sometimes our Christian walk starts great. Our focus and our hearts are fully committed on God. And then without warning, pride rises up and prevents us from being all that God wants us to be. God hates pride and he despises it. Pride is one of Satan's favorite weapons because we take our eyes off of God.
Pride is evil, dark and a snare. It shows no mercy and is very sinister. It whispers arrogance, conceit and self importance. Pride isolates us from God and keeps our eyes off of him. God knows it can wreak havoc in our lives and be a stumbling block.
To overcome pride, we need to pray for guidance and to focus solely on God. We need to trust God and not to open the door for that landmine to enter our lives.
