“I’m not a hero. I’m just a man who constantly does heroic things.”—Dan Fielding of Night Court.

Like Mac Davis used to sing, “It’s hard to be humble.” Even though we all have many reasons to remain humble, our sinful human nature tempts us to think more of ourselves than we should. The Bible often warns us of the sin of pride. Pride can lead to many other sins, and it has been the downfall of many people. We would do well to pursue an attitude of humility. The goal is not to think less of yourself, but to think of yourself less. That will give you more time to think about God and others.

“Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”—Proverbs 16:18.

“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.”—James 4:10.
