Pride

We are not humble enough to recognize that whatever gift, whether material or spiritual, comes from God...We are not humble enough to recognize that it is not us who make our good and comfortable life but God's goodness to us. We are not humble enough to recognize that it is not our effort but the goodness and effort of God that brought us to the comforts in our lives.

We should be reminded that we will not bow down to any material that surrounds us. We will only kneel down before God, not before any creature, not before money, not before prestige, and not before our prosperity.

We will only bow down before God because that is how it should be. If we truly love God, we must only bow down before Him. We need to realize that our idols like money, prosperity, people, and economic as well as social and political stability are nothing and are not worthy of worship. Let us crush all these idols which only lead us to pride. Let us only kneel before God and God alone.
