God requires man to HUMBLE THEMSELVES

What should we do about pride in our lives? We need to humble ourselves before God. When you take a look at Scripture you see that either we humble ourselves, or God humbles us.

We meditate on who God is and how awesome he is, the first thing that should happen to us his humility. It's easier if we humble ourselves then to have God humble us,

The Bible tells us that if we will humble ourselves before God, He will exalt us. God does not forbid pride just because He is worried about His Sovereignty. He wants us to know Him, and He recognizes that pride gets in the way of our approaching God and relying on Him. That's what happened with Lucifer.

It is only through humility that we can come to know the God who is in heaven. Pride is a spiritual cancer. It eats up the very possibility of love in your life. It destroys your ability to love God and to love others.

If you don't know how to love life's not worth living.

Pride is the sin of hell. It is the one thing that can literally destroy your chance to succeed in life.

You have the choice. You can choose to puff yourself up, or you can choose love.
There is no fun in that
