Wisdom and Humility
I was reminded the other day how these two words/qualities walk hand in hand together. I was reading in Proverbs 11;verse 2 says, "but with humility comes wisdom".
I'm thinking that is why so many leaders, both spiritually and politically, have so many problems. With their power, their pride repels wisdom. And humility, on the other hand, attracts wisdom.
"A wise person is not a proud one. Pride and vanity are like poison to the spirit of wisdom...wisdom is given to the humble of heart." (Charles Stanley)
I thank God for the people in my family and in my life that have both wisdom and humility. In the presence of those people, there is grace and peace.
Like a magnet, we can either attract or repel wisdom. Let's turn our pole of humility to the Lord, and attract wisdom.
