Proverbs 18:12 Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honour.

People become quite stuck up with their riches… they are often high-minded and need to be reminded where they stand.

This is God’s way of reminding us never to look down on poor people because circumstance has allowed them to get into such a state. Without riches, a rich man is a poor man!

Don’t allow the riches of the world to stop you from loving and supporting people in need whether they are next door or around the world.

God was always looking out for people who needed Him, whether they were rich, poor, healthy or sick.

Luke 14:11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

Jesus always used pertinent stories to back up what He was saying; ensuring people would listen and learn from the stories.

When we tell others about Christ, we too should be thinking of ways we can allow others to relate to Him through our own experiences with others.

Don’t brag about how much you can do or how much has been done for you; neither of these ways are too successful in promoting Christ.

Proverbs 25:14 Like clouds and wind without rain is one who boasts of gifts never given.

How many times have you said you were going to do something but never actually got around to doing them?

One thing Christ made sure of was the fact He would always follow through on what He said and always live up to His promises made; to the extent we can believe everything He ever said as a promise!

Being honest is one thing, but making sure your honesty is upheld is often a lot harder to do. Live up to what God is asking you to do so He can get the glory!
