Pride and Prejudice

Pride is a deadly sin. Pride is so concerned with the self image, always wanting to be well thought of, always wanting to be seen doing as what is considered as the right and proper thing. Pride puts the self above what it is really worth. Pride has to do with our thinking, either with the way we think of ourselves or in the way we have judgemental thoughts about others. God hates pride and God opposes the proud.
1 Peter 5:5
All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."

Humility is freedom from pride and arrogance and having a modest estimate of one's own worth, considering others better than ourselves. When we are humble, God will lift us up and there is no need for self promotion and trying so hard and as a result we are truly free!
James 4:10
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Humility is total dependency on God. It is trusting God to do the right thing in your life at the right time in the right way. Patience is always seen in the humble while the proud will be impatient as they are unable to trust in God.

King Saul's life was characterized by impatience, wanting to be in control, concerned about his self image. In contrast, King David on the most part was always depending on God, seeking God's direction patiently and wanting God's will done in God's way. Saul was so full of himself while David walked in humility before his God. The result of their lives was so different - pride resulted in Saul's fall whereas David's humility resulted in him and his line being lifted up and David is still remembered as the greatest king of Israel and the line from which Jesus, the Messiah was born.

Humbling ourselves is as simple as making the decision to suppress our pride whenever it rears its ugly head and not blow our own horns and have the right attitude towards others. The Holy Spirit will help us in exhibiting this fruit in our lives as we walk in Christ. Jesus is the perfect example of humility..
Philippians 2: 5-11
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
