"Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor."
- Proverbs 18:12
We've all had those times when we got too big for our own shoes. Maybe a lot of good things had been happening recently; maybe you got a promotion at work; maybe you realized that you're doing better than your colleagues or fellow students. Whatever the case may be, everyone at some point has placed themselves on a higher pedestal than they should have, thinking that everything was by their own doing, instead of giving glory to the one who has blessed you. Pride comes before a fall. Sometimes we forget that God has a plan for us and will continue to lead us to success. But when we begin to think we can do anything without His hand in the things we do, then we will see how helpless a situation can be. Never forget to give thanks to the Lord for all His good work, and to have humility. We all fall short of His glory, but he continues to show His love all the same. When we can show humility, He will continue to bless us all the more.
