Scripture: Proverbs 16:18-19
"Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling. It is better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud."
Commentary:
Threats and counterthreats between nations often reveal the deep pride that drives global tensions. Warning statements like these are felt most by everyday people stationed far from home, facing real danger, not just headlines.
