Boastful PrideDaniel 5:20 When your heart turns arrogant with pride, You block the throne of God that's inside; God will depose you stripping your glory, To be found guilty by the judge and jury. A lesson that many will still need to learn, That the glory of God and one has to earn; No one bestows on a silver platter to anyone, Rather weighed against what you've done; God opposes all who's boastful and proud, The one who shouts "I" and "ME" aloud; You know the ones that are always pushy, Everything their way so nice and cushy; They expect everyone to cater to them, If it's not right they are quick to condemn; Instead He gives grace one that is humble, And never complains or tries to mumble; It is wise to walk humbly with our God, Since we're far from perfect, being flawed; Following God with His blessing and grace, As to someday able to meet face to face.
