“Pride goes before
destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”
Proverbs 16:18 New International
Version
The saying goes “proud as a
peacock”. Well, as pretty as this boy is, I can see why he would be proud. Even
his backside isn’t too shabby. It kind of shows how he manages to get those
feathers aloft.
The funny thing is that the
dull little peahen he was trying to impress was just lying in the grass not
even looking at him.
I’m sure that God had a good
reason for creating the peacock this way. But God didn’t create us to show off
for others. He wants us to be humble and quiet. Instead of trying to be the
center of attention, we should quietly go about our day. If someone does notice
us, let it be because of the good things we do and not because of the way we
look or how we strut our stuff.
