Only the proud...

"Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall."
Proverbs 16:18

The old saying, 'Pride comes before a Fall'. I was thinking about it this afternoon while chatting to my mate Dave and I thought...everybody falls, but it only really hurts the proud. We all fall, in the sense that we all experience trials and hard times and 'storms', but they don't affect the humble as much. Humble people aren'as concerened with themselves but moreso with other people around them and primarily God. So when they fall, it doesn't hurt as much. But for the proud, a fall hurts big time.

Moral of the story...don't be proud! But I guess that was the moral of the story all along.

Thanks Dave.
