‏ Proverbs 28:25

Pride Brings Trouble, Trust in the LORD Brings Blessing

This section compares two types of people: those who are proud and cause conflict, and those who trust in the Lord. It teaches that pride leads to problems and unrest, while trusting God brings peace and satisfaction.

v. 25: People who are proud and always want to argue make life difficult for themselves and others. The Bible says, He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife . This means that if you think too highly of yourself and look down on others, you will often create trouble and conflict. But those who trust in the Lord are different. The verse continues, he who puts his trust in the Lord shall be made fat (Proverbs 28:25 a). This means they will be blessed, satisfied, and enjoy peace. Trusting God gives joy and abundance, both in your heart and often in your life. Those who live by faith find true happiness and contentment.
