If a Christian ever gets upon <strong>the mountaintop of pride</strong>, God will be sure to bring him into the 'valley of humility.'<br><br> We pray—to be humble, teachable, dependent—to know more of the grace, spirit, and presence of Christ—to have more fellowship and communion with Him—to be more conformed to His image and example—to walk more in His footsteps—to more know and do those things which are pleasing in His sight.<br><br> But we cannot have these desires granted except through trial and affliction—for it is in these trials and afflictions that Christ manifests and makes Himself known and precious.
