Pride - a high or inordinate opinion of one's importance. Above or equal to God. When you're caught up in pride, you'll accept what is bad and turn away from good.
What are some of the signs that point to pride?
1) A proud person makes their own plans without asking God.
2) A proud person corrects others when they have no authority.
3) A person who is proud talks a lot about themselves.
How do we avoid T.H.A.T?
Thought
Heart
Actions
Talk
Pride starts in the mind with a thought and then moves to your heart. It becomes an action and influences the words you speak.
In I Samuel 2 and 3, we see pride got into the hearts of Hophni and Phineas, Eli's sons. They did not obey God's commands and His way of doing things. They decided their way was better. When pride gets a hold of a person, it has a profound effect on their view of three areas:
1) What I should have
2) What I don't deserve
3) What I have earned
