Pride vs Humility


Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

Proverbs 16:18 KJV

Pride is an enemy of progress. Humility does not mean stupidity. To be humble is to respect others even if you have more achievements. No one is better than you.  Many may be privileged to be in certain positions of authority, but it does not make them better human beings than the others. If you are in a position of authority then it is a privilege to serve and to be a vessel unto honour.

God sees us as we are even if we have accumulated so much wealth and power. The rich man and Lazarus reveal that it is better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly than to divide the spoil with the proud. We are here to serve one another. If you have the opportunity to serve others do not become proud. The richest man who does not even believe in God is a philanthropist who is donating most of his wealth to serve the underprivileged. This is amazing.
