“God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.”Matthew 5
I am reminded of the biblical story sureounding the demotion of Shebna and the raising up of Eliakim (Is 22:15-25). God was not pleased with the arrogant Shebna and said so.
Jesus spoke against the arrogant and self-righteous Pharisees. He was not impressed with arrogance either. Both of these scriptures tell us the outcome of humility and arrogance.
If we want to be blessed, we need to humble ourselves, and let God raise us up.
Today I met another humbke man, a pastor who lives in a shack. He has four children and a wife. I wonder how many westerners would be prepared to live in a shack?
