Choose to be humble

 



When you find yourself in a situation where you are tempted to respond in pride, stop for a moment and recognize that this is in fact an opportunity for promotion. If you choose to exercise humility and lay aside pride you will see promotion, However, if you respond in pride this will keep you in your current state and prevent you from making progress in that line.
.

Pride's purpose is to produce stagnancy in your life whereas humility is the catalyst for promotion. You may be tempted by pride but see it as an invitation for promotion if only you will respond rightly.

For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. Matthew 23:12

For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. Psalm 75:6-7

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor. James 4:10

God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble James 4:6
