This is a statement of truth, but remember that not all statements of truth in the Bible will apply literally to your life at all times.
Humility and fear of the Lord... these are tough things to own in life. I mean, it seems to be a natural human thing to be proud. We are encouraged to take pride in our actions. But is that all pride is?
Not really. But denying the pride that makes us act poorly and instead taking on an attitude of honor towards God will make our lives infinitely better, and while God might not shower down bricks of gold on your for obeying Him, you'll get a lot of other benefits. Like:
-friendships!
-positive familial interrelations!
-the generosity of others!
-the joy of knowing who you are in God!
-etc!
And all of those things add up to a place in your mind where you will disregard your fears. Which is pretty awesome.
