The sin of pride stands in the way of our spiritual growth. He also gained insight into the spiritual reality that pride has the effect of obscuring the counsel of God. Pride causes us to over estimate our limited knowledge, and twist the counsel of God . God s words are for the humble, those who know how proud they are. Pride makes us think we know something when in fact we know nothing.
Pride also shows itself in our trying to control things that are beyond our power to control.
We become frustrated and angry because we have become entangled in things beyond our reach. We are not in this world to tell this world when it is going to end. We are here to do God's work until the world ends. We must obey God s limits on our knowledge and not dabble in things too difficult for me. We cannot cut teeth on things that are too difficult .
