Proverbs 11:2 (NKJV) 2 When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.
We can all relate to being prideful at times and then having something take place that puts us right back where we belong. Sometimes it is a hard, painful fall.
Even though we may not like it or want it to happen, it sure does help us in the long run. If we allow the process to work itself out, we will come out humble, with a lot of wisdom.
Don’t be upset if things don’t work out for us when we are walking around all prideful and full of ourselves. Shame is bound to follow this kind of behavior and it is no one’s fault but our own.
Sometimes all it takes is to listen to those little promptings we get now and then. But, if we are on a roll doing what we want, we will often overlook them and continue to carry on down that road that will soon lead to shame.
If we could do one thing that will help us remain humble it would be to make sure we examine ourselves from time to time, keeping an eye on our attitude toward life and the people around us. It will usually show up pretty clearly in those areas first.
If we spot it, simply repent. Ask God to forgive us for our arrogant ways and to help us get back on track in doing what is good.
Philippians 1:6 (NKJV) 6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ…
