1: Pride will cost you more than you think. 2: Pride looks like: “I don’t need God for this.” “I already know.” “I can handle it on my own.” 3: Pride slowly hardens the heart, resists correction, and pushes God’s wisdom aside. 4: But choosing humility will help you listen, grow, and depend on God. 5: Before pride leads to a fall, choose humility. God can do more with a surrendered heart.

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. - Ezekiel 36:26

Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. - Daniel 12:3

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure, then peace-loving, considerate, submissive. -James 3:17
