Yes I wish the bible said more on the topic of humility. I thinks its one of the sacred keys. It certainly seems to be the one that makes a lot of religious leaders ineffective.
I remember R. A. Torrey writing about D.L. Moody once and he said what made Moody effective is he never lost his humility. A lot of big religious leaders get puffed up with pride once they have the ears of the masses and that is precisely when they crash and burn and lose their influence.
That's why God gave Paul a thorn in his flesh as well to keep him humble while divine mysteries were revealed to him. I suspect this could be the secret to Satan himself. A thorn in the flesh might have made all the difference for Satan. Seems to be the thing that bursts the bubble of pride.
