Humble in Spirit


Humble in spirit

 Proverbs 29:23 

23 A person’s pride will bring him low,
but one who has a lowly spirit will gain honor.

 

Lowliness … misunderstood ... not looking down on self

It is not noticing self at all ... but living simple and true.

Humility embraces him ... whose attitude towards self

is that of knowing self best ... his weakness, flaws and moods.

 

Humility is not only God-ward ... but also towards man.

Engrained by Christ Himself ... Who was lowly and meek.

A living example ... how we should be this as man

No guile, no pride or hypocrisy ... just love and care, not weak.
