Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor. Proverbs 18:12
The
world today, follow people who speak highly about themselves. You will
see many celebrities in various fields talking highly about themselves.
They speak, because they have made their own life. No one generally
looks at how they have reached that place. Today the world is running
behind the outcome, no matter how it comes.
People want success no matter how it comes. They are ready to
compromise on everything that is needed to get it.
They
only live for the present. They think and assume that they are living
for the future, but actually they are living for the present. The person
who compromises on things can never last in the longer run. The person
who has based things on principles and follows it under all
circumstances, not only lasts but even outlasts. Under stressful
conditions it is difficult to make the right choice and even stick on to
your principles. But if God is in your heart, stress will not overcome
you. Instead, you will conquer stress and also make the right decisions.
Proverbs 21:5 the
thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one
that is hasty only to want/poverty/lack. You will see proud people have
an opinion about self. They hate people who have a contrary opinion or
opinion that is below their self-opinion. A humble person doesn't have
own (self) opinion. His opinion is based on what God has to say about
him/her.
If
God says, “You are special, that person without a second thought, has
the same opinion.” Also if God says, “You are the worst, without a
second thought has the same opinion.” Such people will not have low
self-esteem, neither will they try to seek acceptance or approval from
others. Humble people are not people pleasers, they please only God.
That's why they are able to
stand boldly before anyone and also know how to speak to people in
gentle and loving way. They will not speak highly about self because
they don't have an opinion about self. They never focus on self.
