Humility Is Precious

"Be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble" (1 Pet. 5:5).
An orchid is not more beautiful than a rose. It is prized for its rarity. So humility is precious because it is so seldom found. There is everything that should humble us to the dust. There is every reason why our Lord should be honored. But He was lowly while we are proud. When we humble ourselves, grace runs like a flood to water and refresh our spirits. L. Sheldrake
