Pride's Lies

Pride can be defined as any attitude or thinking that elevates our efforts or abilities above the recognition of God's efforts or abilities. It may even treat with disdain God's work in us. Pride causes us to congratulate ourselves for our successes and to look down on other people who don't rival our successes. Pride says simply, "If I did it and you didn't, then I am better than you." Pride lies to us.
