Kind of a shocking statement, right? Yet it is God's own words, found in Proverbs 22.
Why is it then that when we look at a rich person, humility is not what comes to mind?
On the flip side, for those living with barely enough to get by, we call it "humble living."
Could it be that we've been duped by the enemy? I mean, the devil sure doesn't want riches in the hands of a humble man who fears the Lord.
The enemy can't change the fact that riches come to those who are truly humble. It's a law God set in motion.
Since that's a fact, the enemy has two other options of deception. Either get us to believe in a false version of humility that is actually pride, or get us to reject wealth when it comes.
Which is it for you? Do you think it's humble to be poor? That's pride. Do you think riches are ungodly? That is also pride.
Why? Because pride discards the Word of God to get the pity and attention of others. Pride cares more about what people think than what God thinks.
So don't forget, true humility and fear of the Lord lead to riches, honor, and long life. That's what God says. Align yourself with it.
