5 "In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for
“God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble.”
6 So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. 7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you."
Pride makes us self-centered and leads us to conclude that we deserve all we can see, touch, etc. It creates greedy appetites and that is bad. However, we can be released from our self-centered desires by humbling ourselves before God and realizing that all we really need is the approval of God our Father. When we are baptized, we receive the Holy Spirit. And when we are guided by the Holy Spirit, we can see that this world's seductive attractions are only cheap substitutes for what God our Father has to offer. After seeing what we were desiring, we realize that we were blinded by our evil desires.
May God keep blessing you...
