Measuring Pride

Do we know when we are proud?

I found some ways we can measure our pride.

When we are recognized by people for our work performance, do we feel over-excited until we cannot keep our feet on the ground and move on to do the next important thing? If yes, we are proud.

When we are criticized or commented for our poor work performance, do we feel so affected until we cannot keep our feet on the ground and move on to do the next important thing? If yes, we are proud.

When we are worried and decided to dwell in it, refusing to act on something concrete and constructive, we are proud. We do not let go and trust in God's sovereignty over our situations.

James 4:6 God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. How true it is.
