Verse for Today Reflection
At the heart of this verse lies the virtue of humility. Paul cautions against the arrogance that can arise from spiritual or moral accomplishments. This warning is particularly relevant in our modern times where Christians might feel secure in their faith or moral standing. Let us always remember that Spiritual Pride can lead to a downfall just as it did for some Israelites in the wilderness. Let us therefore practice humility since it is the only antidote of pride which we all know is considered the root of all sin.
