When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.
Proverbs 11:2 NIV
***
“Humility, the place of entire dependence on God,
is the first duty and the highest virtue of the creature,
and the root of every virtue.
And so pride, or the loss of this humility,
is the root of every sin and evil.”
Andrew Murray
***
Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord,
and humility comes before honor.
Proverbs 15:33 NIV
***
Humility is not weakness; it is the epitome of strength.
Humility moves a person away from human, personal weakness and limitation
into divine expression, strength, and expansion.
Donald Curtis
***
Humility accepts that God places us in the right place at every single moment,
not a moment too soon and not a moment too late.
Frederick Lenz
***
Humility is the fear of the Lord;
its wages are riches and honor and life.
Proverbs 22:4 NIV
***
True humility is absolute obedience and dependence on God.
It puts Him first, others second, and ourselves third in all things.
John Bevere
***
“The more humble and obedient to God a man is,
the more wise and at peace he will be in all that he does.”
Thomas à Kempis
