5 Everyone with a proud heart is detestable to the Lord;
be assured,[a] he will not go unpunished. (Proverbs 16:5 CSB)

Pride is one of those things that can be helpful or harmful. It is helpful when we are proud of our kids, or proud of things that those we love accomplish. It can be harmful when we consider our works and become overly proud.

Pride is most useful to us when we focus it outward and not inward.

When we begin to become proud in our hearts about our own accomplishments, rest assured it does not go unnoticed by God or man. This becomes pride misplaced with the wrong focus.

There cannot be a humble nature where self-pride exist.
