Proverbs 21:4

Proverbs 21:4

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Pride contaminates everything — not just proud attitudes but even the ordinary actions ('the plowing') of a proud, wicked person. Sin is not merely what we do in dramatic moments; it colours the whole of a proud person's life. This is a sobering statement about the totality of sin.

Memory phrase: Pride is sin to God.

Talk about it: What does a proud look on a face tell you about that person's heart?

Prayer: God, take all pride out of my heart.
