About This Quote
Wealth comes from God and pride comes from the devil. Wealth is something that God provides for you, and it is one of the greatest things that can happen to you. Pride is something that you must learn to overcome. Pride keeps us locked in our own way of thinking.
It can prevent you from accepting help or advice, and it also keeps us from seeking the truth. When we are too proud to accept God’s gift of wealth, we eventually lose our life savings.
