from Pride and Shame on Youversion
What is the radical solution to pride and shame?
Humility.
Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.
PROVERBS 11:2 NLT
If that doesn’t sound very radical . . . it really is. To be humble in this day and age is to defy all cultural norms. Our society (like most societies in history) holds up performance and public opinion as the two great defining bastions of self-worth. Those who perform get applauded and rewarded, while those who fail to do so largely get ignored.
