Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
James 4: 10
"Pride says, "I resisted the devil all by myself." False humility says, "God resisted the devil; I did nothing." True humility says, "I resisted the devil by the grace of God." Humility is confidence properly placed; we are to "glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh" (Philippians 3:3). Pride says, "I can do it on my own." No you can't. We absolutely need God and we necessarily need each other."
