Reading throughout the book of Isaiah, we are fortunate to examine the consequences and deadly symptoms of pride. Some indicators of pride are: Neglecting God (17:7-10); Being unreasonable towards God (1:16-20); A desire to rearrange God’s order (5:20-21); and, Devoid of sensitivity to God’s heart (66:1-2, 22:8-13). Isn’t pride the trickiest of sins because it’s always in denial of its state? As with any sin, giving ourselves to God is the only correct way to deal with pride. Praise God who has the solution, graciously sharing with us His amazing “Therefore” (7:14) and “Nevertheless” (9:1a, 6-7)!
