READ: Proverbs 15:33
“And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee…“ – Deuteronomy 8:2
Satan’s nature is pride. Satan is the king and origin of pride. He is also the ruler and the overseer of all the children of pride.
“… he is a king over all the children of pride” (Job 41:34).
After the fall of man, Satan’s nature of pride was somehow injected into mankind.
This satanic nature is the source of all the evils in man. Even after our salvation, we constantly struggle with this demonic influence that seeks to dominate our character and personality.
After the Lord has called us and we begin to serve Him, this very nature carries us away from His will. A little confidence, a little success and we are changed into demonized, pride-filled brats who no longer listen to advice. We secretly mock at others we deem inferior.
This is the reason why the Lord leads us along a road that humbles us and causes us to trust in Him. Perhaps no Scripture is as clear as Deuteronomy 8:2 on this matter. Some so called faith people (I say this because I consider myself a faith person) would wish that this verse was not in the Bible. But it is and there is nothing you can do about it. God does lead us on journeys with the intention of humbling us.
Some of the things that are happening to you are just to humble you and make you cool, sober, mellow and gentle!
