When you humble yourself, God has promised to exalt you. Humility involves rejecting a sense of superiority, but instead choosing before God to take the attitude of a dependent and sinful creature and worship, fear, trust and obey him. When you choose humility, you can enjoy relationships with others for the long term because you make it easy for people to relate to you. You focus your words on others, to speak about what benefits them. Correction is easier to hear from you because you are humble. You make it a joy for the leaders over you.
