1 Bible Verses About Haughty
And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
2 Samuel 22:28KJV
Let the wisdom gleaned from these scriptural passages serve as a beacon against the perilous cliffs of the haughty spirit. They reveal that pride is not merely an unfortunate trait, but a profound distortion of our true nature, a turning away from the source of all grace and wisdom. To lift oneself up in arrogance is to sever the delicate threads that bind us to God and to our fellow creatures. True strength, the verses subtly suggest, lies not in self-exaltation, but in the quiet submission to divine truth, in the humble acknowledgment of our dependence. Let us therefore take these words to heart, cultivating an inner posture of humility, recognizing that the loftiest perspective is found not in surveying others from a height, but in kneeling low before the divine mystery, finding our true stature in His boundless love. This reflection is the soul's necessary discipline, a path away from the desolate pinnacle of pride towards the fertile valley of grace.
