"What doth Jehovah require of thee, but to do justly,
and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with thy God?" Micah 6:8
Humility is a grace that should genuinely move people, but
the way some of us Christians parade our humility reveals plainly the falsity
of our hearts. We talk endlessly of being humble, but only display thereby what
Paul calls a "voluntary humility" [Colossians 2:18], having hidden motives
and not the genuine article. It were really better to call it pride!
He who is truly humble is net like that. He is real. He
acts naturally and speaks gently. Like his master, he will "take a towel .
. . " for he esteems others better than himself. He is not too proud,
either, to ask for their help when he needs it. No wonder men ask one another,
"Who is his Lord whom he serves so gladly?"
