We all fight the three-headed dragon: the god of Me, Mine and More. In 1 Peter 5, Paul teaches us how to be humble and place Christ first in our lives. Pride doesn’t allow us to try new things because we might fail. Pride doesn’t allow you to experience new things because what if we look foolish or silly because we’ve never done it before. God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
