What if we took a vote on who we thought was the most humble person here? Would that ruin it for them or do we think they could handle it? Humility seems to be a somewhat elusive concept, but Proverbs teaches that the fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor. The humble know they are created by God. They know that the cares of this world are not their cares. They know themselves, their strengths and weaknesses. They are secure in the knowledge that God loves them.
