Pride Goes Before a Fall

There’s a way that seems right to a person, but it ends in death (Proverbs 14:12; 16:25). Those aren’t just words of warning — they’re flashing lights from God saying, “Slow down, you’re heading the wrong direction.” In Hebrew, the word “way” means a road or course of life. It’s not about one decision; it’s about the path we choose to live on. Pride tells us, “You have this figured out.” But humility says, “God, I need You to show me the way” (Proverbs 3:5–6).

We live in a world where everyone does what seems right in their own eyes (Judges 21:25). People follow their feelings, redefine truth, and call it freedom — but God calls it deception (Jeremiah 17:9). The problem isn’t that the path looks wrong; the problem is that it seems right. That’s why so many end up hurt, lost, or far from God — because they trusted their feelings more than His Word (Psalm 119:105).

The answer isn’t to follow your heart — it’s to follow God’s direction. His Word is the only map that never changes (Isaiah 40:8). When we walk His way, it leads to life and peace (Romans 8:6). But when we follow our own, it leads to frustration and destruction (Matthew 7:13–14). The way that seems right may feel good now, but only God’s way ends good.
