If pride comes before a fall, today’s reading offers a dramatic illustration. Pharaoh’s behavior clearly shows the destructive effects of pride. Instead of yielding to the Lord, he bluffed. He lied. He tried to “negotiate.” He doubled down on his stubborn and foolish choices. If you feel the prompting of the Holy Spirit, repent of the sin of pride today.
