I never realized how much God despises pride until I read this passage. It made me look closer at my life for areas where I might have an abundance of pride. I discovered that the slope between feeling good about myself and arrogance is very slippery. For instance, one thing that I feel good about is being a Seventh Day Baptist. That's fine. But when I start thinking that I'm a Super Christian because I observe Sabbath on the correct day, then I've fallen down the slope into a sinful trap. The good news is that God will help me get out of the trap.
