“Fear-of-God is a school in skilled living—first you learn humility,
then you experience glory.”
Proverbs 15:33 (The Message)
Wise people remain humble. Humility and teachability go together. Be humble or you’ll stumble.
Humility begins by simply realizing you’re not God. Whenever you get stressed, repeat this to yourself: “God is God, and I’m not.”
That’s humility. If you don’t realize that you’re not God, you’re not being a humble leader.
The Bible says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6 HCSB).
Do you have a goal of becoming a wiser person?
Spend time with God. You’ll become wiser in building relationships, managing money, handling conflict, diffusing problems, and dealing with all kinds of other challenges in life and ministry.
The Bible tells us, “Fear-of-God is a school in skilled living—first you learn humility, then you experience glory” (Proverbs 15:33 The Message).
Humility allows you to learn from anyone, because you don’t know it all. No one does. That’s why we need to remain teachable, humble, life-long learners.
