"Fear-of-God is a school in skilled living- first you learn humility, then you experience glory." - Proverbs 15:33 The Message
Just like the Bible verse that says, "pride comes before a fall" we must first learn true humility before we can increase into whatever God is trying to bring us to. So if your going through a season of humility be encouraged because just as surely as pride is a sign and foreshadow of a fall, humility is a sign and foreshadow of promotion. Hang in there!
