Empty Vessels Make The Most Noise

"KiNg KiNg, KoNg kOng, KiNg KiNg, KoNg kOng kOnG kONg kong...."

Stop it please, we don't need to know how much you earn/wear/buy/eat/use/drive....

See what the bible says about PRIDE and BEING HUMBLE:

2 Corinthians 10:17-18
Let him who boasts boast in the Lord. For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.

Proverbs 28:25-26
A greedy man stirs up dissension, but he who trusts in the LORD will prosper. He who trusts in himself is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom is kept safe.

Proverbs 29:23
A man's pride brings him low, but a man of lowly spirit gains honor.

Isaiah 66:2
Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?" declares the LORD. "This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word."

Luke 16:15
He said to them, "You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight."

Ephesians 4:2
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

Psalms 138:6
Though the LORD is on high, he looks upon the lowly, but the proud he knows from afar.

Psalms 147:6
The LORD sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.

Psalms 149:4
For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with salvation.

Proverbs 3:34
He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble.

Sorry, i'm not trying to be disrespectful here, it's just a mere ranting utterance.

Let's all remember, everything we own belongs to Him. Why take pride????
