God's Glory Crushes Pride

In my ministry, I work with pastors and church leaders. I’ve seen the subtle (and not so subtle) demonstrations of pride in their lives and in my own life. This always saddens me.
In a world that emphasizes aggression and rewards self-made men, what is the place for brokenness, humility, and dependence in a person’s life? What does the Bible say about the strength that comes from submission to Christ? What does all this mean and how important is all of this anyway?
Look at the catalogs of sin in Romans 3 and Galatians 5 and realize how desperately ugly sin is. Then look at the majestic beauty of our holy God. The result of this comparison and honest appraisal is that God’s holiness becomes severe and an encounter with Him becomes awful and painful and shameful and shattering. All pride is crushed under the weight of God’s glory and holiness.
If we fail to renounce our pride and submit to the glory of the majestic King of the Universe, then we will experience the tragedy of 1 Peter 5:5. “All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, ‘God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.’” If we fail to clothe ourselves with humility, God will oppose us.
