Humility
The first test of a truly great man is in his humility. (John Ruskin, 19th century English writer)
The winning team’s star . . . the Oscar-winning actor . . . the author of a highly acclaimed book . . . each is interviewed after receiving his or her award. How they respond to the questions they’re asked will reveal a lot more about them than the exploits they are being honored for. It’s in those moments that we discover their character and integrity.
True humility and fear of the Lord lead to riches, honor, and long life. (Proverbs 22:4)
