“See That Ye Do Not Boast in Your Own Wisdom, nor of Your Much Strength”

Brant Gardner

Alma suggests that pride includes boasting in one’s “wisdom” and strengths (or accomplishments). We must remember God as the source of our blessings. We are not mighty in our own strength but only in his. (See commentary accompanying Alma 7:23–24.)
