How to Overcome Pride In Yourself

Consider a few things that will help us to remedy the pride that grows in us so easily. Endeavor to see yourself as you are, your lowliness and utter helplessness, and to see God as He is in his glory and holiness and power. This is part of what church services are to be about: and why hymns that show forth the honor and majesty and glory of God are so important. At the same time be persuaded of the beauty and comeliness of humility. Seek it out and observe it in others, and note how much better it is to be humble than to be proud. It is the grace that is the very opposite of pride, which is abomination to God and men. Put it on like you put on your clothes. Then consider the examples of proud people in the Bible who were humbled and abased. And finally, simply remember that you have nothing to be proud of because we have nothing that we have not received - everything we have, and every ability we possess was given to us.
