At the time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” [Matthew 18:2-4 (ESV)].
Decorous accessories often accompany our acquisition of substantial wealth. None of these accessories is more damaging to our character than hubris — pride. None is more necessary in prosperity than humility.
… all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, “for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you. [1 Peter 5:5-7]
