Pride manifests itself in saying, ''I will exalt myself''.<ref>Isaiah 14:13.</ref> However [[Jesus]], in obedience to his father said, ''Not my will, but thy will.''<ref>Matthew 26:39.</ref> When we put away "I will" and say "thy will" we put away pride and leaning on our own understanding. And Proverbs tells us that pride is #1 on the list of the seven things God hates.
