Above almost everything
else, beloved, let us guard well our humility. It is only when we
are little in our own eyes that God can use us with safety to
ourselves. And yet He does not shield us from every test of
fidelity. If therefore the Lord give you a little exaltation today,
a little encouragement of success in His service, receive it humbly,
meekly, remembering your own unworthiness and insufficiency except
as God is pleased to work through you; and be just as ready to
receive the humiliations of tomorrow as necessary for your
discipline and the proper balancing of your character. If the
success of yesterday makes you fret under the humiliation of today,
beware! You are not as roundly developed spiritually as you should
be.
