"The pride of your heart has deceived you..." Obadiah 2 AMP
Symptoms of pride spoken in the book of Obadiah include: violence; arrogance; coldness; hate; stealing; gloat; rejoicing over one's misfortune; etc. However, there are so many more symptoms of pride, and that is where you need to make time for a good ol' one-on-one with the Lord. Ask Him to, and let Him, show you parts of your life where you need to rise higher, repent, make good, apologize, change your behavior, or make changes of the people you associate with; He will tell you, He will help you, and He will pour His forgiveness over you and give you favor to make good on the hurt you've done. On the other hand, if you fail to rid yourself of pride, then unfortunately, my friend, "As you have done, it shall be done to you; your dealings will return upon your head.". (Obadiah 15 AMP)
Pride is a choice one makes to do, or not to do. Make the choice not to be prideful! Your life will be more peaceful and peace-filled, you will bear much fruit, and you will have a glorious future that you can look forward to with a bold, God-Almighty filled confidence of which can never be taken away from you - less, of course, you decide to freely give that confidence away to the enemy.
