Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall (Proverbs 16:18).
Are you yielding to pride?
Satan has perfected the art of temptation, using three allurements for thousands of years. The Wicked One employed them on Adam and Eve, Jesus, and similarly to David. John describes them as follows: “For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life” (1 John 2:16). The last temptation consists of “the pride of life,” which means self-boasting about one’s own accomplishments, and labels David’s sin. Prideful David dispatches a reluctant Joab to take a census (1 Chronicles 21:2-6). Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with numbering people. After all, we have a book in the Bible entitled Numbers! It seems that David wants to boast about the military prowess of the nation, which leads to God chastening Israel.
Employment Point: Praise God for His accomplishments in your life and avoid self-boasting.
