Numbers 11-12, Psalms 41-42

Because of my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever. (Psalm‬ ‭41:12‬)

“Because of my integrity...”—this is a prideful claim. See how truthful, honest, and faithful I am! Look at my integrity!

But...Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. (Proverbs‬ ‭16:18‬)

I have hope that whether proud or humble, whether upright or not, God upholds us and is present with us, instructing, disciplining, inspiring, encouraging, convicting, perfecting, and loving us.
