Humility Prerequisite to Helping

If indeed you exalt yourselves against me,
And plead my disgrace against me,
Know then that God has upended me,
And has surrounded me with His net.
Job 19:5–6

Pride debilitates us as helpers, because it invests us in feeling superior to those we are helping. Rather than firstly, finding ourselves before the face of God, then secondly, helping them before the face of God by the grace of God... we are hindered from the necessary humility before God's face, because we are too busy being exalted, in our own eyes, in comparison to those whom we are "helping."
