How does God humble individuals according to the Bible?

Throughout Scripture, God employs various means to humble individuals, often through trials, societal upheaval, and personal challenges. The story of Nebuchadnezzar illustrates this as he was driven from society to experience humility amidst consuming grass like an ox. This drastic measure was not punitive but rather redemptive, leading him to recognize God's sovereignty. Similarly, believers often face difficulties that force them to rely on God's grace and recognize their dependency on Him. It is during these times of humbling that God graciously reveals who He is in relation to who we are—a central theme in the doctrine of sovereign grace that emphasizes our need for divine intervention.
