Most people say things like “I would never do that” and “I will never do this.” But really, when it comes down to it; you do not know what you will actually do until you are in a situation. It’s easy to be humble when you are low. But it can be very hard to diligently walk in humility when you are exalted.
The Bible talks about staying humble and the dangers of pride. In Proverbs 16:18, the Bible says, “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” Pride says, “I don’t need God, I’m good.” This is a dangerous place to be. Satan himself was puffed up in pride, and wanted to be God. This pride got him cast down to the earth with no chance of repentance. God takes pride seriously, so we must ask the Lord to examine our hearts, to make sure we stay in a spirit of humility.
The trick is staying humble when the Lord exalts you. It’s easier to be humble when everything has been stripped away and you are low. True humility stays humble whether you are on top of the mountain or in the valley. True humility makes you a great leader. Stay humble folks.
