Psalm 19:12
Have you ever realized too late that pride led your actions? King David, even after years of wisdom, stumbled into pride by counting his own strength instead of trusting God. Yet, in his moment of failure, David’s repentance turned judgment into redemption. God’s mercy transformed punishment into sacred ground. In our lives, pride subtly sneaks into noble intentions, turning reliance on God into self-dependence. Like David, when we face consequences, God invites us toward Him, not away. True repentance isn’t about shame, but about returning wholeheartedly. Today, reflect on areas pride may have quietly invaded your life. Humbly choose reliance on God, and let Him transform your mistakes into holy moments.
