Pride and self-exaltation have proved detrimental in countless personal struggles, from Satan's attempt to exalt himself above Almighty God to Eve desiring to be on the same level of God to the haughty Pharisee exalting himself above what he considered to be 'underlings' or 'scum'. Proverbs 16:18 warns us that pride precedes destruction while humility fosters peace and alignment with God's will. If we could forcibly imprint the maxim "No pride, no problem" into our nervous systems, it would eliminate immense grief associated with placing our desires over God's will for us. Naaman's initial pride in in II Kings 5 nearly cost him a miracle of healing. Nebuchadnezzar's humiliation and Herod's swift horrible judgment reinforce the destructive consequences of unchecked pride. In stark contrast, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ's humility (Philippians 2:1-11) provides the ultimate example of how to live selflessly, submitting to God's will.
