Pride is the major sinful issue in human life. Pride makes you ignorant unable to learn from others. God hates pride, but he loves the humble and meek.
An arrogant man would show off his ability and competency in public and thus making people around him very repulsive. The Bible informs us to be quick to listen and slow to speak and anger. Imagine that if a student in a classroom frequently talking to a professor expressing his thoughts and competency, but he doesn't want to listen to the lecture. Of Course, It is very exasperating to anyone. In our daily struggle of life, we have to make some important decisions on finance and vocation. If we want to have the good outcomes that bring blessing to our lives, we must ask God's help. Because of limitation in mankind, the impotent finite creature, we must wait on God's providence. Our God is the all-knowing, all-powerful, and all good. He can see everything that we are unable to see, thus only he can guide us in the pathway of life, not making any irrevocable foolish decision and ruin our lives. The waiting and resting on God's process can bring glory to him.
