Humility is the most neglected of all needed virtues. The world does not recognize humility. Most people will “trample upon” others to get ahead in life. The Bible says that God resists the proud—James 4:6.
1. THE HAUGHTY—14:7–9
2. THE HUMBLE—14:10–14
3. THE HIGH-MINDED—18:9–12
4. THE HOPE—18:9–12
Water always fills the low places. Likewise the lowly person will fill the low and humble place. God wants people to be small enough to be used of Him. Stay humble, or you will stumble.
