Pride rides,
Pompous like a king,
But it’s such an empty thing,
A meaningless fling.

Pomposity makes life a monstrosity. Humility makes room for God’s ability.

Haughtiness about our heritage can hinder our understanding of history by making it hard for us to face uncomfortable truths. History shows that color-pomposity leads to much atrocity. The attitude of superiority has caused humanity many problems. Color-pompousness, even if you think it’s well hidden in your heart, is a form of racism. Check out: Off the RACE Track book.

If you say you follow Jesus, but let yourself get pompous, you’ve gotten off track somewhere along the way. Humility is a great course corrector.
