Proverbs 16:18

Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before a fall.

[Ghostdog]

i can relate.

i was full of pride before God destroyed everything i used to define me. i was proud of my accomplishments, how much money i had, all the things i had, the females i had chasing me. i lost all of that in one night over one bad decision.

Greetings, hello 

The Children of Pride

Ephesians 2:2-3 (NKJV) in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

Colossians 3:5-8 (NKJV) Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.
But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.

Pride is in anyone who exercises their will above who God is in truth. Yes, I see it in many.

Isaiah 14:[12] How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
[13] For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
[14] I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

2 Corinthians 12:[9] And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me

Hey sis.. I don't remember the last time I looked at someone and thought it. If I go by how the world explains it "a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired." haha I've never seen that in me.

The most supreme example of “pride before a crash,” is the fall of a perfect spirit son of God who made himself Satan the Devil. (Genesis 3:1-5; Revelation 12:9) He manifested a haughty spirit prior to his crash.

It's what happened to Satan and it's a serious problem for humans if not overcome.
