We label people who are extremely arrogant as being delusional. They believe that they are without fault, when many of their faults are obvious. Pride lies to us and makes us believe things about ourselves and our world that are simply not true. Believing these lies leads us into all kinds of danger and even into doing evil things.
King Saul wanted to kill David but his son, Jonathan, spoke to him and said, “Let not the king sin against his servant David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have brought good to you.” Pride deceives us into believing what is not true. Pride keeps us from trusting God and doing good to others.
