Meditate the Word of God

For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. (1 John 2:16)

Pride goes before destruction. (Proverbs 16:18)

Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the LORD and turn away from evil. (Proverbs 8:37)

What sorrow for those who are wise in their own eyes and think themselves so clever. (Isaiah 5:21)

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interest of others. (Philippians 2:3-4)

True humility and fear of the LORD lead to riches, honor, and long life. (Proverbs 22:4)
