When self-importance reaches the point of making a person self-centered and uncharitable, it’s a destructive force against our spirit. It is the self-prideful attitude that is dangerous. We have seen it in the actions of dictators and kings who acquire such great power and believe they are gods. It is when arrogance makes them lose all compassion and caring for their people and make foolish decisions that are harmful to themselves and others, but they often don't see it until it's too late.
This week at church I was in a different Sunday school group and learned a bit about Pride. This class was studying in the book of Esther, specifically the pride of Haman and his downfall because of it.
