Extra Baggage
Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
Proverbs 13:10
It is interesting to note that Solomon proclaims that contention only comes with pride. So the question becomes: if we get rid of pride, will we eliminate contention? And the simple answer is yes! No one desires to have contention in their life, but unfortunately, many of us have quite a bit of pride. I don't think many recognize the additional baggage that comes along with pride.
If we seek to eliminate pride in our lives, think of the benefits beyond tossing the extra luggage of contention out the window. No longer would we be distracted from serving God. Our priorities would be better aligned with His plan for our life. We would have the ability to humbly serve others, showing the love of God to others.
What a bargain for our lives - we get rid of one despicable trait and our life gets simpler! Join me in pushing pride out the door and lightening our daily struggles. I am sure that our life and others will be blessed by our action!
