1 | Pride is a good thing! Or is it? | Prov 23:7 | humbledbyhisgrace | 153370 | ||
Pride is a good thing! Or is it? How many of us have raised our children encouraging them to be proud of themselves and to take pride in their accomplishments. Teaching them to have confidence in themselves. I know I did and I thought this was the right thing to do. But is it? What are some better ways we can teach our children God's truths and use this to teach them to be confident instead of teaching them to be prideful in themselves? | ||||||
2 | Pride is a good thing! Or is it? | Prov 23:7 | mom7x | 153468 | ||
Pride is not good according to the bible. The bible says we are all sinners, and have fallen short of the glory of God.(Romans 3:23) Having children myself, how I have dealt with this one is to teach them that they are precious to me and to God. This gives them a sense of worth and confidence. I also try to teach them that they are to give thanks to God for what they are able to accomplish, because it is Him who has made them able to do it. I teach them that what they do can please God,if they obey him, just as it pleases me when they obey me. I guess it comes down to making God the focus, not them, yet still letting them know they have worth because of who they are. |

4 | Pride is a good thing! Or is it? | Prov 23:7 | mom7x | 153477 | ||
Romans 3:23 speaks of us all as having fallen short, not measuring up. How then can we have pride in ourselves? What is worth having pride in? Is 64:6 "For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away." Our good works, accomplishments, are like filthy rags--how can we have true pride in that? Prov 29:23 "A man's pride will bring him low, But a humble spirit will obtain honor. " Our pride should be in our father, who washes us and purifies our works, because if it is in ourselves, our own works, it will bring us low. |
