Proverbs 11:2
When pride
cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
When
we are operating with ‘self’ on the throne, we are bound to say or do something
foolish - something that will cause us shame.
Lowliness is best exemplified by our Lord Jesus Christ. He laid aside His deserved position to become
a man and pay a debt He didn’t owe to open the way for us to know Him. The quietness of a soul yielded only to His
approval hears HIS voice and hears HIS wisdom.
In the haughtiness of our own understanding we are bound to come to
shame but in the lowly place of one who seeks guidance, we find one whose steps
are sure and ordered. When we humble ourselves we are admitting that we don’t
know EXACTLY what to do or how to respond.
This will prevent us from acting hastily and making choices that will
bring us shame.
