In a recent podcast, Kamala Harris made an interesting statement. She said she did not aspire to be humble. The opposite of humbleness is pride and self exaltation. Of course Donald Trump is not exactly humble, he constantly exalts himself. So apparently we will have someone in the White House in 2025 who is not humble.
Ironically both of these candidates claim to be Christians. So let us see what the Word of God says about being humble.
(Matthew 23:12)"Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."
(Psalm 147:6)"The LORD lifts up the humble; he casts the wicked to the ground."
(Proverbs 11:2)"When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom."
(James 4:6)"But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."
(James 4:10)"Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you."
(All Scripture quotations from the ESV)
