Humility

This is one of my favorite book and the reason I assure you is that humility is a charter trait that I lack very much. The reason I love this book is that it properly and accurately identifies where this sin lies within my own heart. It seems that this sin lurks in so many places that discovering it without Biblical exposure is impossible. So I highly commend this book to you. You will find yourself needing to read it from front to back on a regular basis.

Here is a line or two....

"Humility gets God's attention. In Isaiah 66:2 we read these words from the Lord:
This is the one to whom I will look:
he who is humble and contrite in spirit
and trembles at my word."

"Here we find motivation and purpose rooted in this amazing fact: Humility draws the gaze of our Sovereign God."

"Why does God hate pride so passionately?
Here's why: Pride is when sinful human beings aspire to the status and position of God and refuse to acknowledge their dependence upon Him."

This was extremely helpful in the identification of Pride because it allowed me to accuritly see that when I am prideful about anything I am in contention with God. I am battling him for the credit instead of giving him the glory.
