Galatians 6:7-8 (ESV)
Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

We will not be the exception to this law.
We get to choose each day which boomerangs we will throw.
Romans 8:28
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Matthew 23:11-12
“The greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
“The greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
No one naturally throws the boomerang of humility.
The act of serving is a display of true greatness.
James 4:6
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
EXALTING YOURSELF
1) Needing to be the center of attention
Philippians 2:3
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
2) Needing to be right & inability to admit wrong
Proverbs 13:10
By insolence comes nothing but strife, but with those who take advice is wisdom.
3) Boasting
Jeremiah 9:23
Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches.”
4) Victim mentality
Proverbs 29:23
One's pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.

“If your attention is centered on yourself (whether you see a worm or a superstar is utterly beside the point), you are a priest in the cult of self-worship.” – Doug Wilson
Proverbs 8:13
The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.
Proverbs 8:13
The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.
The first vice God hates is pride, and the first virtue He loves is humility.
Spiritual pride = knowledge without obedience
Humility is posture combined with action. We are never told to be humble; we are commanded to humble ourselves.
HUMILITY IS NOT
1) Groveling
2) Enabling
3) Manipulating
1) Groveling
2) Enabling
3) Manipulating
An indicator of false humility is an exhibition of pride when the desired results do not occur.
“Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less.” – C.S. Lewis
Jesus modeled humility and servanthood.
John 13:2-17
2 During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, 4 rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. 5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” 7 Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” 8 Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” 9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” 10 Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet,[a] but is completely clean. And you[b] are clean, but not every one of you.” 11 For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
12 When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant[c] is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
