It isn't about me!

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. James 3:12

Have you ever noticed that the wisest people are also the most humble? Someone who has seen and learned much usually understands one main point: it is not about me!

So the next time you see a learned man, watch how he acts. Is he prideful and arrogant? Despite his knowledge, he may be a fool. But the next time you see one who is wise, you will know it. He will be more concerned with others than himself.

Lord, make me a man of wisdom. My pride too often reveals that I don't really understand the things about which I speak. It isn't about me! Make me a humble vessel. Use me how You choose.
