Proverbs 11: 2 (NIV) When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.
James 3:13 …Let him show it [being wise] by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom….
James observes that there is a humility that comes from wisdom. Humbling yourself releases you from what would hold you back from acquiring God’s wisdom.
Our deepest desire must not be for the things of God, or for the blessing of God, but for God himself. Harboring selfish ambition of any kind – especially in your business lives – is all about you, not about Him.
Apostle Paul reminds us that a life lived in humility and wisdom make us “ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us…” The ambassador gives glory to the person or country represented. Not her/himself.
