The universal sin

Temptations always seem to attack us in our most vulnerable ane weakest areas but one area that everyone struggles with is pride. We may be proud of our riches, our position, our power, our spirituality, even our humility. We may be poor but proud, we may be of low position but proud. When you realize that there is nothing that we have that has not been given to us we have no reason to be proud.
When the Pharisee went down to the temple to pray he wasn't proud that he was righteous because of what he had done but he was proud that he was spiritual because of what the Lord had done him.
