Pride Before A Fall but what comes after!

We know the old saying "Pride goes before a fall", which is actually a quote from the Bible.  Proverbs 16:18

But this is something a couple days ago, I heard from the LORD while watching a reality TV show, where this guy was being chased through country side.
As the chase continued, and the one fleeing would stop and hide among trees since they were in a forested area, you could tell his 'swagger' and pride about not being caught.  He was better, and would never be caught, just watch me!

But as the 'cat and mouse' chase continued, the boastful one, (being chased), made a sudden quick dash because he thought he heard his enemy (the guy hunting him) just nearby.  So, this cocky guy makes a fast move and while looking back, running through forest and trees, he trips and lands in a small gully that has accumulated water and is now mostly fairly thick mud.

He is a mess!

His face was covered with dripping mud and as he looked up, while wiping the mud and gunk from his eyes, he noticed he was at the feet (remember he was in a small gully) was the guy that he bad mouthed, the one that was chasing him - caught him!

As I was enjoying this show, the LORD spoke to me and said; "You know pride goes before a fall, but do you know what comes next?"

In my Spirit (remember that if you follow JESUS, then HIS SPIRIT (HOLY SPIRIT) is joined to your Spirit and they become ONE Spirit (no longer 2 but 1), I answered the LORD and said "No, no I don't know what happens after the pride." See 1 Corinthians 6:17

DAD (The LORD) answered and said to me, "pride will also make you fall at the feet of your enemies.  And the enemy of pride is humility, so pride always bows to humility."


Your pride, will make you fall and that falling is at the feet of what you hate, of what you 'run from'.
