And all of us have it. The first stage of our journey is pride. The second stage, by the grace of God, is the valley of humiliation. God bends our stiff necks and pushes our face to the ground because that's where the streams of life are flowing. When man tries to become like God he becomes like an animal.
Pride puts man in a class with the beasts of the field.
That's the point of Nebuchandnezzar's insanity. Stage two on the pathway that leads to heaven is the painful discovery of this truth. We thought we were strong and we discover that we were weak. We thought we were weak and we discover that we were protecting our ego. So I urge you, if you have never been there to go to the valley of humiliation.
