That is the beginning of arrogance, boasting, and non-humility, not humbleness...
Because you know it's true, what they say...
And when you know it's true...you will be very tempted. You will be lifted "high", and start to marvel at how great you are, forgetting WHY you're that great. The main source of that greatness. The struggle of humility begins..
James 1:9-10
"The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower."
"Encouragement" is one thing, but if you take that encouragement, and follow your own evil desires of it, then it becomes pride. The focus, the worshiped, is not God anymore. It's you.
Why do humans need "Pride" so much!
