The first thing God detests is arrogance. Pride leads us to destruction. We must put away arrogance and put on the image of humility.
The Lord who came to us is gentle and humble. May God’s word guide us to resemble his humble image.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

– 1 Peter 3:8 (NIV)
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!
– Philippians 2:5-8 (NIV)
