How to Deal with Pride
Pride leads a person to serve themselves, while humility chooses to trust God and wait for His timing. The first two kings of Israel, Saul and David, demonstrate contrasting responses to pride. Saul's self-centeredness led to disobedience and excuses, while David displayed humility by refusing to seize the throne by force, choosing instead to wait for God's appointed time. While Saul justified his actions despite clear commands, David showed patience and restraint, refusing to let pride rule his thoughts even under pressure.
