Nothing To Be Proud Of
June has been proclaimed LGBT Pride month. There are marches and other public manifestations. But they have nothing to be proud of, and have forgotten or lost the ability to be ashamed. Proverbs 6:17 lists "a proud look" at the top of the list of seven things that God hates, that are an abomination to him.
Long ago Isaiah, a faithful prophet of God, was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write these words denouncing sinful pride.
"The expression of their faces bears witness against them. And they display their sin like Sodom; They do not even conceal it. Woe to them! For they have brought evil on themselves... Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him" (Isaiah 3:9-10).
Society may change, and man's laws, too, but God's Word is forever settled in heaven, and all will be judged one day by His word, not theirs.
Instead of pride, there should be humbling and repentance. "Seek ye the LORD, while he may be found. Call upon him while he is near." God is rich in mercy to all who call upon Him, but He resists the proud.
