Isaac Watts saw pride as a root-poison in the soul and wrote these pages to help Christians dig it out by its very source. Here you will find no mere rules or moralizing, but a steady unfolding of:
- Pride wears subtle disguises in every heart.
- Christ's humility is our pattern, and Paul's self-abasement is our example.
- There is quiet power in depending on God and knowing our nothingness.
- Peace and grace flow from esteeming others and denying self.
Read slowly. Let each gentle conviction awaken you to your own need. Then, having learned to think "slightly less of yourself and slightly more of others," discover the unsearchable riches Christ gives to the humble of heart.
A worm may lift itself up above other worms, but one step from a man crushes it into the dust. So it is with us. We may seem greater than our neighbors, but in God's presence, we are nothing.**— Isaac Watts
