The fear of the Lord will make us more sensitive to the ugly faces of pride and compel us to turn away from its hideous strength-just as Proverbs says:
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
(Prov 8:13).
Pride is the stubborn refusal to let God be God. It is the attempt to dethrone God and enthrone self. Sin is self-deification.
Humility is acknowledging the truth about ourselves, that as creatures we depend on our Creator's power and as sinners on our Savior's grace.
