12 Before his downfall a man's heart is proud,
but humility comes before honor
This comes in all situations. For me and my past, I read this through an "addict falling off the wagon" lens, where the most likely time to slip back into old habits is when you start to get proud of how far you've come, or prideful enough to think the temptation is not that bad anymore. But I think this comes in almost every area of life. When we get prideful we become less worried about others. That puts relationships on the fritz and leads to arguments and quarrels. When we think we are too big to be beat, we stop leaning on God to get us through each day and we end up making mistakes that may have dire consequences.
