1). Recognize it—this is the first step!
2). Repent of it (See the example of the tax collector in Luke) Remember do something about it before God does!
3). Ready yourself to fight it every day!
Illustration: Tony Campolo said, "If you ever start to feel proud, just remember that soon after your body has been lowered into the grave, your family & friends will be eating potato salad & telling jokes, & you’ll be history." Contributed by: Andrew Chan (www.sermoncentral.com)
God enables us to stand against pride in our lives. But it can only happen when we understand his grace and mercy.
