Isaiah 5:15-16
People shall be brought down, Each man shall be humbled, And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled. But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness.
Sometimes when I don't notice it, I manage to lose myself and lose control of my pride. It's amazing though, how God manages to put you back in your place. It's amazing how He humbles you and how He Himself is exalted in the process. It reminds me of King Nebuchadnezzar and how he was humbled to the point where he had lost everything that he had, even his sanity (Daniel 4:28-33). When God finally returned his understanding back to him, he realized that he had put himself before God and had forgotten all the things that God had done for him. After that old Neb worshiped God and said those famous words,
"For His dominion [is] an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom [is] from generation to generation. All the inhabitants of the earth [are] reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven And [among] the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him, 'What have You done?'"
God's always up there showing us who's boss, it only matters if we take note and worship Him for who He is.
