STEPS TOWARD HUMILITY. Part one From the book "Listening to the voice of God" by Roger Barrier Pride is insidious. The more filled I am with pride, the more difficult it is to detect. One of the most devastating consequences of pride is the way it impairs our ability to hear God. In Psalm 138:6, David wrote, “Though the Lord is on high, he looks upon the lowly, but the proud he knows from afar.” Some people are content with hearing God from afar. However, with the pressure of the ministry and considering the deep longings of my heart, I want close communion with, not estrangement from, God. In 2 Chronicles 7:14, God said, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven. …” Humility must precede prayer. Before I can pray, I must deal with my pride.
