How do we know the importance of being humble as Christians?

The importance of humility is underscored in the metaphor of the Myrtle-tree, which stands in low valleys, contrasting with the lofty mountains representing the wicked. Saints are characterized by a humble spirit and often face persecution, much like the Myrtle-tree that grows in the depths (Ecclesiastes 1:8-11). This lowly state is significant as it signifies the closeness of God to His people during their trials. As David proclaimed in Psalm 23:4, even when traversing through dark valleys, believers need not fear, for the Lord is with them. Humility allows Christians to maintain their faith and bear witness to God's presence in all circumstances.
