Humility And Success

It is hard to be humble, especially when one has success or status. We can all suffer
from the disease of arrogance or pride. It's sure not limited to them. It can happen to
all of us and we have to be careful to not fall into that trap no matter where we fall in
society. I've even seen it a homeless shelter where on group did not want to a
ssociate with another, in essence because they thought they were better than the
other group.

"Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the
kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:4 (NKJV)

LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their
heart; You will cause Your ear to hear, "And whoever exalts himself will be
humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. "Is not God in the
height of heaven? And see the highest stars, how lofty they are! Better to
be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.
Surely He scorns the scornful, But gives grace to the humble.

But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But
gives grace to the humble." James 4:6 (NKJV)

When He avenges blood, He remembers them; He does not forget the cry
of the humble. Psalms 9:12 (NKJV)

By humility and the fear of the LORD Are riches and honor and life. The
fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, And before honor is humility.
A man's pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor.
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due
time,
