Pride is one of the sins the Lord hates, listed as one of seven identified abominations (Proverbs 6:16–19). If you are unsuccessful in learning about something, you can keep trying until you do or ask for guidance. But asking for help means you must set your pride aside and decide whether to receive or reject the information given (Proverbs 26:12). Pride will keep you from looking for God, knowing Him, or understanding His Word (Psalm 10:4). It precedes destruction (Proverbs 16:18). Those who think too highly of themselves will go down by God’s hand (or repentance—calling on Him for forgiveness), but God exalts those who humble themselves: “A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit” (Proverbs 29:23). Humility is the honor of one’s proper attitude.
