Galatians 6:3 - "For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing he deceiveth himself." As I watch the political race and also work in a corporate environment, men and woman think they are something more than they are it reminds me that we are nothing without Christ.  We need Him to be good husbands and fathers and employers or employees. -

Psalm 81:13 - "Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!" - If you can, read the last verses of this chapter following vs 13 as well. It speaks of the good things God had in store if His people would just have obeyed his voice and turned their hearts to Him. I think that most of our problems are mostly our own faults. God has so much in store for us and our families, but often we are too stubborn or proud to surrender our lives to Him, the one who knows the good plans He has for our lives. If only He could get us to hand over the reins of our hearts to Him. - Brian Boots

Proverbs 16:20 - "He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good and whoso trusteth in the Lord happy is he."  The sin we deny (pride, selfishness, what we want, how we look) when we handle a matter wisely, gives way to a trust in Christ that satisfies.  Grasp hold of good judgement, slowness to anger, and a humble spirit.  Handling your  problems wisely will become easier. -Jason Brothers

Philippians 2:3 - "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind, let each esteem other better than themselves." The Bible also tells us that "only by pride cometh contention." We need to check our hearts for pride and take upon ourselves, as Christ did, the form of a servant. - Daniel Holser

Proverbs 29:23 - "A man's pride shall bring him low but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit." About the time you become confident in your abilities God will bring something into your life you can't handle unless you trust in Him. - Jason Brothers
