Don't go through the day being proud

Pride can get in the way of us moving forward. Just like with Pharaoah, he hardened his heart and dug in his heels. His pride would not allow him to admit he was wrong and Moses was right. Pharoah's pride cost him and his nation a great deal. Don't be like Pharaoh. If your heels are dug in over an issue because of pride, let it go. Remember it says in James 4:6 that God opposes the proud but gives grace to and favors the humble. There is an anonymous quote that says "Swallowing pride seldome leads to indigestion." Humility is just one characterisitic of great leadership. Don't go through the day being proud, take time to practice humility.
 
Just another thought to consider.
