Exodus 5:2 (NIV)
I'm sure most of you reading know the story of Moses and his constant attempts to free Israel from the hand of Egypt. If you read on it say a number of times that Pharaoh's heart was hardened each time Moses asked for Israel's freedom. Pride is one of the many reasons we harden our hearts to God.
Pride usually come from selfishness, the Pharaoh was being selfish when he decided to keep the Israelites as his slaves, because he didn't know God, he didn't fear or humble himself before him. If we humble ourselves and go after everything God has for us, we set up the foundation to make a real change in the world.God doesn't want us to be prideful, because he knows that if we become to occupied with ourselves there will be no room for others, or even him!
So, I urge you to keep your pride in check everyday, always make sure your doing the things God wants. Always remember that serving others keeps pride from controling you, and what more could you ask for?
