Matthew 23:12 Amplified Bible (AMP)
12 Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be raised to honor.
The Greatest Act of Humility by Billy Graham
What is says is easy. What it means is easy also and Billy Graham describes it well. How to apply it is harder.
Billy Graham’s answer to the question- “Whats so wrong with pride?” Is very good. Especially the quote from Galatians 6:4 Amplified Bible (AMP)
4 But each one must carefully scrutinize his own work [examining his actions, attitudes, and behavior], and then he can have the personal satisfaction and inner joy of doing something commendable without comparing himself to another. Very helpful.
Prayer. Dear Lord, please help me keep this verse in mind in thinking through every action and activity for Your Kingdom’s sake.
