Why be proud in your hearts and afflict your neighbor because of the things God hath given you? Jacob asks for a reason. "What say ye of it?" He wants them to ponder it in their hearts. "Do ye not suppose such things are abominable unto him who created all flesh?" One man he says, is as precious in the sight of God as is another and that, for the same reason all are created to keep His commandments and, thereby, glorify Him. There is a lesson we all may learn here. Pride, too often, leads our footsteps astray. It crowds all thoughts of God from our hearts. We are so engrossed in the world and the things thereof that we have no time or thought for other than, "What shall I eat? or what shall I drink? or wherewithal shall I be clothed?" We forget his wisdom and guidance. It is then we should remember, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God." When we recognize that great truth, all pride, envyings, hardheartedness, and deceit will be banished and in their place, love of God and our fellowmen will fill our hearts and in humility, we will recognize all men as brethren, they having one Father, and we will profit by the lessons they shall teach us.
