Mon // Surrender :: Pride
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. – Proverbs 16:18 Sin is a state of being, a disease – and one of its nastiest symptoms is pride.

Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. – Romans 12:1b “Come on son, let’s go for a walk”. “Where we going pop?” I can only imagine the conversation was something similar to this as Abraham and Isaac journeyed to the mountain.
