True humility and fear of the Lord lead to riches, honor, and long life.
Proverbs 22:4 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/pro.22.4.NLT
Don't settle for a little humility. Test yourself and be aware: am I sounding my own trumpet here?
Just when I think I am making headway with humility, up jumps pride. Yuk! It happened in Connect group tonight. We were all sharing and I could tell I had started to tinge my sharing with 'look at me, aren't I good! Oh dear!
Lord have mercy! I wonder if Moses had this problem or Abraham or David?
We are not alone in the learning of humility. We are all prone to selfishness and self-aggrandizing. It stinks and only God's grace sets us free.
Be of good cheer! He who began a good work in me is faithful to complete it. Amen!
