"Pride skews our perspective to primarily see what's displeasing to us. We can enter a room where there's so much in front of us to be thankful for, and we will zero in on something that's wrong and that's where our focus remains. Someone or something does not meet our standards, our preferences, or even our demands--we grumble, criticize, and complain. Because of indwelling sin, pride is our default setting."
"Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name." {Hebrews 13:15}
