Proverbs 26:12

Proverbs 26:12

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

Pride is more dangerous than foolishness because it closes the door to correction. A fool might be corrected; a person who is 'wise in their own conceit' will not accept correction at all. Self-righteousness and arrogance make a person unteachable — and that is the most spiritually perilous state.

Memory phrase: Pride blocks wisdom.

Talk about it: Why is it dangerous to think you are never wrong?

Prayer: God, keep me humble. Help me always learn.
