James wrote about this arrogance when he said, "do not slander one another" (James 4:11). He said when we are unfairly critical of others we not only disobey God's law of love, but we are actually speaking against God's law and sitting in judgment over the law - and there is only one Judge! (James 4:11-12). Willful disobedience involves elevating ourselves to the throne of God and judging which of His truths apply to our life. This is the ultimate arrogance!
Every day we struggle to contain ourselves. It is so easy to slide down the path of arrogance and to fill your self with grand thoughts of the skills that you posses. Trying to be humble needs a conscious effort in order to not out grow your self and remember all things comes from God. All blessings need to be repaid and shared.
