God resists the proud

But He delights in ministering grace to the Humble. God must resist the proud because He doesn't want a family of fools. A proud man is a fool because He is suffering under the delusion of His own grandeur.
Humility is just a realization of reality, we are not great. The centre of the universe is not us.
We must look up, not down at our navels.

My little son said today while looking at a tree, "I wish I was as High as that!"  A fair wish to have for a little bloke. He is not aware yet of God's plan for every proud tree, Isaiah lays it out the best in  Chp2 vs 12-18.

12 The Lord Almighty has a day in store
    for all the proud and lofty,
for all that is exalted
    (and they will be humbled),
13 for all the cedars of Lebanon, tall and lofty,
    and all the oaks of Bashan,
14 for all the towering mountains
    and all the high hills,
15 for every lofty tower
    and every fortified wall,
16 for every trading ship[b]
    and every stately vessel.
17 The arrogance of man will be brought low
    and human pride humbled;
the Lord alone will be exalted in that day,
18     and the idols will totally disappear.

and who can forget chp 40 vs 4

Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain.

And what about 2 Corinthians 10:5

5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

by all this I get the distinct impression that God is not pleased when one sets himself above another because He is no respecter of persons. He alone knows that all men are as dust, grass and flowers. Here today gone tomorrow. If not one of us can save even our selves from the certainty of death. Why presume we to play overlord to anyone else.
