In this passage of God’s Word we see a man named Haman that has a serious pride issue. Taking a look at him in Esther chapter 6 can help us to identify pride issues in ourselves.
You may have a pride issue if…
1. You’re never satisfied
Esth. 5:12-14, Ps. 16:11, 37:4, Is. 58:11, 1 Tim. 6:6, Phil. 4:11-12
2. Everything is about you
Esth. 6:6-9, Phil. 2:3-4, Rom. 12:10
3. Honoring others is painful
Esth. 6:12, Rom. 12:10, 1 Pet. 2:17-19
The Bible’s antidote to pride is humility
Prov. 11:2, 18:12, James 4:6

Reflection Questions

1. After taking a look at this sixth chapter in Esther, what stands out to you the most? If you’re familiar with the story, did you notice anything that you haven’t noticed before?
2. Do you feel like you’ve struggled with pride at some point in your life? If so, did you have one of the symptoms of pride that Haman also had? Did you have any other symptoms of pride? What did that look like in your life?

3. Of the three symptoms of pride problems that we talked about Haman possessing, which one do you struggle with the most in this season of your life? What does that look life for you?

4. If you do feel like you struggle with pride, what practical step(s) can you take towards being more humble? Who will keep you accountable to accomplishing that?
