As long as their is breath in our lungs, and we have the ability to relate, we will always have this humbling aspect to our lives. No one is bigger than his/her own “britches”. Arrogance and being over confident is not a character trait the Christian is ever to pursue or display. Pride has a way of robbing us from expierencing God by taking up space the Holy Spirit deserves. How is there room for Him if we are too full of ourselves? All this space filled with "hot air" isn't a worthy trade off. When we get to that place and give in, our next meal just might be a serving of humble pie for dessert. The best remedy for this is to always keep our eyes on the Truth, Jesus. And the Truth says we are never pure and free from sin, not until we reach Heaven will this statement be untrue. Humility is the conduit in which the Holy Spirit works in our lives. As the Dos Equis beer brand says (with a little change of words), “stay humble my friend”.
9 Who can say, “I have cleansed my heart;I am pure and free from sin”?
