With Humility Comes Wisdom (Proverbs 11)

June 30, 2017

What’s the difference between those who hear the Word of God and are changed by it and those who aren’t?

 

I’ve often wondered why there are lots of people who sit in church every week but only a few who put into practice what they learn. Proverbs 11 says, “Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” Humility is the posture that acknowledges our dependence on God and opens us to the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. Pride closes you off to how the Lord is trying to transform you. So prepare your heart to receive God’s wisdom. Clothe yourself with humility.
