Hay varias definiciones de la palabra orgullo. Podemos estar orgullosos de nuestro trabajo; orgulloso de los logros de nuestros hijos; orgullosos de nuestra nación, etc. Sin embargo, hay un orgullo que destruye. Este tipo de orgullo distorsiona la visión de uno mismo y de quienes lo rodean. El orgullo es un pecado maestro. Este tipo de orgullo causo la caída del arcángel Lucifer. El diccionario Merriam Webster enseña que este tipo de pecado es una autoestima y una presunción desmesuradas. Proverbios 11: 2 declara que aquellos que permiten que este tipo de orgullo crezca en sus corazones, ¡se avergonzarán! Por el contrario, aquellos que son humildes caminan en la sabiduría. Romanos 12: 3 (RVC) nos advierte: “Por la gracia que me es dada, digo a cada uno de ustedes que no tenga más alto concepto de sí que el que debe tener, sino que piense de sí con sensatez, según la medida de fe que Dios repartió a cada uno.”.

Proverbios 11: 2– Cuando viene el orgullo, viene la vergüenza; pero con los humildes es la sabiduría.

The scriptures are clear on the difference between godly and wicked speech. In the New Living Translation, Proverbs 10:32 declares the difference. One speaks helpful words and the other speaks perverse words. God is not ambiguous about this. You are either practicing godly speech and actions or you are not. Today, many have their opinions as to what is acceptable to God. Yet many have no filter on their speech. They say anything that comes to their minds. Perverse speech can be foul language. It can also be curses or hateful desires hurled at others. When you allow unfiltered anger or hate to flow through your mouth without considering the repercussions, it can bring about much destruction. The godly think first before speaking. And, if they do say something that is not helpful, they will realize it and bring about the needed correction. Are your words helpful and encouraging, or are you guilty of spewing perverse words? Always remember that God hears every single word that we speak, and He will hold us accountable for our words, whether they are helpful, or perverse.

Proverbs 10: 32 (NLT) – The lips of the godly speak helpful words, but the mouth of the wicked speaks perverse words.
