2. Chasing
the ord

4. The three things that keep light
from penetrating the soul are
Pride, Lust, and Greed.

5. Pride is an issue
of mind and heart.

6. PRIDE
A preoccupation with
your own importance.

7. 6 But He gives all the more grace;
therefore it says, “God opposes
the proud, but gives grace to the
humble.”

8. Pride puts the creature
in place of the Creator.

9. Idolatry: Self Adoration

10. 17 Your heart was filled with pride
because of all your beauty; you
corrupted your wisdom for the
sake of your splendor. Therefore, I
have cast you down to the ground
and exposed you helpless before
the curious gaze of kings.

11. 23 This is what the LORD says:
“Don’t let the wise boast in their
wisdom, or the powerful boast in
their power, or the rich boast in
their riches.”

13. Self-entitlement Complex

15. Professions/Field of Work

16. 16 I said to myself, “Look, I have
increased in wisdom more than
anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem
before me; I have experienced much
of wisdom and knowledge.”
17 Then I applied myself to the
understanding of wisdom, and also of
madness and folly, but I learned that
this, too, is a chasing after the wind.

17. 18 For with much wisdom comes
much sorrow; the more knowledge,
the more grief.

19. Bragging of Achievements

20. Putting too much consideration
towards oneself

21. 4 And I saw that all toil and all
achievement spring from one
person’s envy of another. This too
is meaningless, a chasing after the
wind.

23. 5 By your great skill in trading
you have increased your wealth,
and because of your wealth
your heart has grown proud.

24. Everything we have is a result
of God’s grace and goodness.

26. • How is your devotion and
prayer time?
• Bragging attitude habitual
• Putting other people down
• Cannot be happy with the
achievements of other people

27. • Mostly, pride is unrecognizable
to oneself.
• Gives much importance to
oneself
• Adores self in little achievement

28. Not associating self to other
people (standard issues)

29. 3 “And why worry about a speck in
your friend’s eye when you have a
log in your own?
4 How can you think of saying to
your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid
of that speck in your eye,’ when
you can’t see past the log in your
own eye?

30. 5 Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in
your own eye; then you will see well
enough to deal with the speck in
your friend’s eye.”

33. 6 Although He was in the form of
God and equal with God, He did
not take advantage of this equality.
7 Instead, He emptied Himself by
taking on the form of a servant…

35. 8 You mortals, the Lord has told you
what is good. This is what the Lord
requires from you: to do what is
right, to love mercy, and to live
humbly with your God.

37. The light that was given to us
should never be to bring
recognition to ourselves, but to
bring back glory to God while
serving the humanity.

38. 12 “cast off the works of darkness
and put on the armor of light”
