Proverbs 16:18-19

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
 
This first verse is one that is familiar to a lot of people. A haughty person thinks to highly of himself and their actions leads to life without God. As the next verse shows it is better to be humble than haughty. By our actions we choose either to follow God or to follow Satan. The humble have chosen God but the proud would rather gain what they can here on this earth by any means possible. We can see in Malachi 4 what will happen to the proud,
Malachi 4:1 “For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.”
Let us humble ourselves to God and strive to be in His will daily.
