The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor. (Proverbs 15:33)
God has no tolerance for those who attempt to take His place. When we try to play God, we are bound to lose. God won’t allow it, not just because He is a jealous God we need to be deathly afraid of, but also because God is a loving Father who knows we can’t handle it.
In the face of this, we need to be humbled. The best we can do is bow down to the only One who can and will lift us up.
I like what St. Augustine writes –

I like what St. Augustine writes –
“Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility.”
