Are you taking an inappropriate amount of pride in your accomplishments? (150-5)

Leaders will benefit from humility and find a liability in pride. Read Isaiah 10: 5-12.

The nation of Israel, the northern kingdom of Zion, and the city of Samaria had left their worship of the true God and become idol worshipers. God had sent numerous prophets to warn the people of Israel of His anger concerning their treatment of the poor and their worship of false gods. The people simply ignored God and continued to do as they pleased. There came a point when God withdrew His protection and instead of blessing the Jewish people put his blessing on their enemy the Assyrians.
