Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

Last week we looked at Proverbs 16:18:

"Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before a fall."

Proverbs 16 goes on to say that it is,

"Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly,
Than to divide the spoil with the proud."

That is certainly NOT how the world presents things on television or advertisements! I trust the Bible on the subject, how about you?

God Bless You!
