The Bible speaks with clarity in Proverbs 5:5: “You cannot stand the sight of the proud.” This powerful truth reminds us that God resists pride because it separates people from His grace, mercy, and salvation. Pride exalts self, while humility exalts the Lord. We see this so ever true in politics and missed guided christians. When we stand before God in humility, we are lifted by His Spirit, but when pride rules our hearts, we fall away from His presence.
In today’s world, pride shows itself in many forms—selfishness, arrogance, and a rejection of God’s authority. This is why missions are so vital. MISSIONS carry the gospel to hearts that need to be reminded of God’s call to humility and repentance. Through preaching, teaching, and sharing the Good News, missionaries offer a lifeline to those blinded by pride. They proclaim that salvation is not found in ourselves but in Christ alone.
One simple yet powerful tool for spreading this truth is the use of TRACT CARDS. These small cards, often filled with scripture and short messages of encouragement, carry the Word of God beyond our voices. A humble hand can pass along a tract card in a store, on the street, or during a mission trip, and God can use it to plant seeds of faith. Many testimonies exist of people who came to Christ simply by reading a scripture verse on a card. What may seem like a small effort in our eyes becomes a mighty act in the hands of the Lord.
The proud may resist the gospel at first, but the Word never returns void. MISSIONS and TRACT CARDS work together to break through hardened hearts. They remind us that humility opens the door for God’s Spirit to move. When someone receives a tract card with a verse such as Proverbs 5:5, they are confronted with the truth that God cannot stand pride—and are invited instead to walk in humility, grace, and faith
As believers, we are called to carry the message of Christ everywhere we go. Whether through global MISSIONS or the simple act of handing out TRACT CARDS, we fight against the spirit of pride and lift up the name of Jesus. May we remain humble servants, spreading the Word faithfully until every heart hears.
