HUMILITY VERSUS BEING HUMBLED
Luke 14:11
For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
Personal Challenge
This is such a valuable rule to learn in life. Jesus taught us when we pump ourselves up with pride and try to raise ourselves above those around us, then we set ourselves up to be greatly humbled. This kind of humility is always painful. When we choose the path of humility on our own accord, to put God and the people that we encounter throughout our day above ourselves, then we will avoid those times of being knocked off of our false pedestals. Humility, like so many aspects of our lives, is a choice. It is a choice that we must make over and over again. We must also be careful to not project false humility, for this form of humility is only projected to draw attention to ourselves. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
