Pride is man’s way of trying to be God. It’s his way of wanting it his way. The opposite of pride is humility. Humility is not thinking less of yourself, rather it’s thinking of yourself less. Whenever you feel the urge of Pride coming on, humble down. You’ll save yourself some pain in the end. Only God is worthy of humanity’s praise, only God.
11 Human pride will be brought down,and human arrogance will be humbled.Only the Lord will be exaltedon that day of judgment. 12 For the Lord of Heaven’s Armieshas a day of reckoning.He will punish the proud and mightyand bring down everything that is exalted.13 He will cut down the tall cedars of Lebanonand all the mighty oaks of Bashan.14 He will level all the high mountainsand all the lofty hills.15 He will break down every high towerand every fortified wall.16 He will destroy all the great trading shipsand every magnificent vessel.17 Human pride will be humbled,and human arrogance will be brought down.Only the Lord will be exaltedon that day of judgment.
Isaiah 2:11-17
