Why does God insist on humility?

Thomas R. Valletta

Speaking of the importance of humility when facing trials, President Henry B. Eyring taught: “If you’ll remember that the key to not being diverted from serving God is humility, then you’ll understand that some of those days when you thought things were going badly were a great blessing. You might not have sought them, but if you react to such days by recognizing your dependence on God, you could actually be in a better situation than if everything had gone extremely well. Too much success, in fact, could lead you into a more difficult trial because it could make you arrogant” (To Draw Closer to God, 85).
