Are You Humble?

Micah 6:8 "He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." Matthew 23:12 "For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." Romans 12:16 "Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited." As many people have enjoyed the national basketball tournament this year, there are some happy fans and some who are extremely disappointed by the outcome of the games. It has been interesting to compare the tournament brackets with others, and to listen to the commentators and analysts before and after each game. In a post-game interview with the coach of the winning team after a game this weekend, the announcer asked the coach how his team won the game. Very politely and humbly he replied that he was outcoached by his opponent the entire game, but his team was the fortunate team to have the most points when the time on the clock had expired. I was very surprised to hear his words, but was thankful for his humble, yet candid reply to a question that is often times answered much differently. Dear Friend, how about you? When you are victorious in your life, are you gentle and humble in your ways, or do you take all of the credit for being great? The bible very clearly instructs us to walk humbly with Him and to avoid being conceited and proud. The world would be a happier place if everyone would embrace and live by these simple instructions.
