A very popular word says "pride goes before a fall".
From the Bible this above statement was confirmed. Lucifer, the morning star and the former arch angel was cast out from heaven due to the spirit of pride. Pharaoh perished because of pride. Nebuchadnezzar became animal for good 7years because of arrogance. Herod was eaten up by maggots because of this same spirit.
There is no reason why anyone should be proud and arrogate himself or herself. There is nothing you do on earth that someone has never done, there is nothing you know that someone had not known from the beginning of the world. There is no level of wisdom and knowledge you acquire that someone has never possessed before. There is nothing you become in life that can make you outshine God who possesses and gives all things. There is no word of wisdom you can speak that king Solomon has no spoken about out of his divine wisdom ( in the Bible). Tell me what you have and whom you are. I can tell you that you are definitely not above all , you are in between. Then, there is no point to be proud, God said He resists the proud and gives Grace to the humble. I recognize that you are the best and your wisdom is beyond expression but when the spirit of pride comes. Always remember that you are what you are today because God has given you the privilege and grace. Pride is out of the dangerous spirits that destroy many lives. Humility is what we should embrace so as to move far and enjoy divine Mercy and grace.
