There are 2 verses that have caught my attention in the Bible!
Proverbs 14:12 (NKJV)
12 There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.
But its end is the way of death.
Proverbs 16:25 (NKJV)
25 There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.
But its end is the way of death.
___________________________________________________
Somewhere in the beginning of Genesis, or before it, Satan felt that his way was the best way instead of the Lord's way. Satan had a lot of pride that it ate him up, and he still haven't dealt with it. Then the Lord threw him out of Heaven along with tons of rebellious angels that became demons.
We, too, can have pride, and it will slowly eat us out, that we don't even notice it unless someone else tells you about it. Boy, am I happy that we have brothers and sisters who care about us.
Why would the Lord have us write two of the exact same verses in the Bible? It's because pride is the greatest of all sin, just above adultery. We must be very careful about pride, and deal with it whenever it comes up. We will only realize that we have pride when, someone points it out in us, whether it the Lord, or man.

Exodus 20:3 (NKJV)
3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.

We can make anything our god. We can even make ourselves a god, which will result in the Lord literally throwing us into the pit of Fire for eternity! Have you prayed for humility today?
