Remember how the Lord your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character.
Deuteronomy 8:2
Pride is the root of many, many of my sins. I think it's true for everyone, and so goes the common saying, "Pride gets in the way." It's terribly true! We are a prideful, sinful people, needing of a Savior and redeemer to rescue us from our sin.
Even in the verrrrry beginning, when Lucifer fell, it was his pride that made him fall - nothing else. In the same way, the majority of my sin is found my pride. My belief that I am better than others - and that leads me to being selfish and doing my own thing.
Getting rid of the pride is the same thing of admitting that you need a Savior. I love it.

This verse is super encouraging though. It is saying that God is humbling the people and testing them... but for a purpose. There is a reason behind it all. I like that. God works on my heart and tests me, and it is all for a purpose that may someday be revealed (or it will happen and I won't even notice it). He works in miraculous ways.
So even now, as I drudge on through hot days and busy classes - they are for a reason. They are working and shaping me into the person I need to be for later on... it's a curious thing.
