Proverbs 25:6
Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence,
and do not claim a place among great men;
it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,”
than for him to humiliate you before a nobleman.
When you think wisdom quite possibly you think of wise old Solomon, the son of King David. And thi scripture is but one of over... three thousand such wisdom thoughts from out his fertile mind.
"Do not exalt yourself..."
In Hebrew exalt carries a heavy handed meaning - swelling up...like in what can happen to all of us if we get a big head. And then the scripture reads, "Do not claim a place among great men..." All around Solomon were those who did just that...claimed to be great. Indeed to such a degree that if an award were given, they felt certain they deserved it most.
Oh, how easily it happens when fueled by arrogance and self-satisfaction; to become a self-serving and self-appointed know-it-all, to give out high and mighty advice to someone who has not even asked for it. And then to actually get angry when people don't take that advice.
Perhaps you have heard the account of the fellow who attempted to give such advice on the subject of humility by writing a book about it. However, he ran into trouble choosing a title for his book. "Humility and How I Attained It" somehow didn't seem to fit; nor did "How I Became Humble." He finally decided on "Me and My Humility"… and then so you would recognize this purveyor of such wisdom should you happen to meet him on the street, he included a twelve full-page pictures of himself!
Humility. If you think you have it, you are probably in danger of losing it.
