Proverbs - Pride and Destruction


Proverbs 15:25        

 The LORD will destroy the house of the proud:
but he will establish the border of the widow.

Pride is a dangerous thing.  It is attributed to Lucifer and his rebellion against the Lord.  It is associated with a woman being contentious and hard to get along with.  It is linked to having God resist someone.   It is connected to destruction.  It is blamed for stubbornness and is one of the things that the Lord hates.  If we run our homes in control mode and consider our ways the way everything should go, we will begin to see an inward corruption that will eventually implode due to our own stubborn ways.  The proud woman knows nothing and her personality is grating.  When she is in relationships, sparks fly and people are worn down.  Our homes should be a place where, if we find ourselves arrogant, we humble ourselves and ask forgiveness from God and those with whom we live.
