I was listening to a youth pastor this week by the name of David Marvin. He shared a statistic on selfies that was surprising to me. There are on average 93 million selfies taken a day and posted on social media. And there has become known a phrase, “death by selfies” where one is so focused on themselves that they don’t pay attention to their surroundings, and they end up in an accident and lose their life. Becoming self-focused causes one to become prideful and pride will bring death in one’s life, in one’s relationships, and even in one’s ability to have a relationship with God. We see this in scripture with what happened to Lucifer (Satan) in heaven when he became so focused on himself that he broke fellowship with his Creator and he was cast out of heaven. Even Jesus said of Satan that He had seen him fall like lightning from heaven. This explains why God repeats in his Word many times concerning pride why it is something He hates.
