James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Here is a test of humility. Do you put others ahead of yourself? Or do you make sure you receive honor instead? Do you give credit to others? Do you look for ways to encourage and build up those around you?
Are you thinking right now, "Wow, am I ever humble!"
Oops. Even the most humble among us can slip.
If we live to promote ourselves, we have all the honor we will ever receive. But if we humble ourselves, God will exalt us in surprising ways.
So be humble. And trust God for everything!
