Compared to God, we&#8217;re all in the same boat; we&#8217;re all a disaster,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHumility is a sober perspective. Pride is when you&#8217;re just drunk, and I never want to be drunk on my own press clippings, my own accomplishments, my own achievements. Sometimes, it&#8217;s there when you&#8217;re trying to fight to figure out how to put yourself in the center of stuff. It&#8217;s like, &#8216;Oh, yeah, I need to drink some humility juice today because I&#8217;m fighting for me to be at the center.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Texas native said that the key to honoring God in a self-focused society is humility.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We live in a really narcissistic society right now,\u201d Lecrae told CP. \u201cSocial media, everything, it&#8217;s just like me, me, me, I, I, I, and there&#8217;s not a lot of thinking about others as better than yourselves as Scripture tells us. There&#8217;s not a lot of seeing God for who He is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In comparison to God, \u201cYou are low,\u201d he added. \u201cSo I have to do a lot of that. It doesn&#8217;t mean that pride doesn&#8217;t creep in. It creeps in every day. I wake up in the morning and pride is sitting at the foot of my bed like, &#8216;What&#8217;s up, man?&#8217; Pride is waiting for me, so I have to pursue humility, and that&#8217;s one step at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"article_credit\">\n<p>Leah M.
