Here's the last idea about humility from James 4.6-10.
5. Be Real
He tells them to mournful, instead of joyful. That's seems crazy to a John 10.10 style of life. The problem is in the previous verses, he points out that they have this habit of being friends with the world more than they are with God.
It's not real humility to walk around like everything's great on the outside when everything's a wreck on the inside. Humility is admitting the situation and responding with the right attitude and actions.
So, let's pray that God reminds us to be real--that the inner life and the outer life are matched. The point isn't to be sad--the point is to be real. I'm all for "keeping it real" today.
