Humility Before Pride
Pride and humility are words used in the Bible to describe the attitude of our heart towards God. Pride is a common protective response of defense when any of us have a hurting heart. I often feel a sense of pride rising when I’ve been hurt in a relationship. However, if I only jump to defend myself, I may be missing an opportunity to learn more about myself and God’s transforming love.
Choosing humility means I take time to have a good look at myself and my actions, asking God to give me a right view of myself as His loved child. It also means I keep my heart open to being teachable and remain willing to see where I can change my thinking and actions. I often ask God to help me grow up before I grow old. I don’t want to be arrogant or a know-it-all. Instead, I want to keep trusting God with my heart and learning His ways of grace and love.
"It is common knowledge that 'God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble.”’ (James 4:6 MSG)

Pride and humility. Two words that contradict one another but also, in our humanity, two things with which we really struggle. At times it can feel like letting go of pride weakens us, and humility makes us small and insignificant, however, that’s not the case. In fact, the Bible tells us that pride is our enemy, and humility is the position of our heart that God desires for us.
