It is so sad that we live in a world so obsessed with image. As someone said recently, I love cocky, whereas God hates it. That is what is being taught to children and adults in all areas of life. There is nothing wrong with looking and doing your best, but not when it is only about that. Everywhere you look it is talked about and promoted over and over again. Christians build themselves up too and make their lives look like they are perfect and they have it all together. It is sad to look around and realize that everyone is obsessed with looking like they are the best. But that is not what God likes, He does hate it. What do people see when they look at us? Proverbs 6 says God Hates Pride. Here are just a few verses Proverbs 3:34 Surely He scorns the scornful, But gives grace to the humble.
Proverbs 6:16 These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: 17 A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood,
Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.
Proverbs 16:19 Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.
Ro 12:16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
James 4:6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”
James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
1Peter 5:5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
“For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” (Luke 14:11)
