Do you remember that old song titled " Oh Lord its hard to be humble"??? The next verse in that song went on to say "when I am perfect in every way, I can't wait to look in the mirror cause I get better lookin each day." Now I am fairly certain most of us are not this vain but if we look closely we may tend to have a little more pride than we ought to have!
Look what God have to say about pride:
Proverbs 29:23
23 A man’s pride will bring him low,
But the humble in spirit will retain honor.
God makes it clear that if we are full of pride it will bring us down. One thing we must all remember is that we all were created equal. No one is better than anyone else. If we can keep that thought in the forefront of our minds it will help us to remain humble. Another thing God tells us is to love others. If we can love others as we love ourselves that will also keep us humble. The promise God gives us in this proverb is worth remembering...if we remain humble in spirit we will retain our honor!
Have a great weekend and be humble!!
