"Learn from ME, for I AM gentle and 

humble in heart." Matthew 11:29

Learn humility, from CHRIST'S humility.

For lack of humility, some angels 

became devils. Proud sinners are fit 

companions, for none but proud devils.
When men glory in their pride, GOD 

stains the pride of their glory. 

"The LORD Almighty planned it, 

to stain the pride of all glory, and 

to humble all who are renowned 

on the earth." Isaiah 23:9 

The most lowly Christian, 

is the most lovely Christian.

A believer is like a vessel in the sea: 

the more it fills, the more it sinks.
None live so humble on earth, as 

those who live highest in Heaven. 

See how one of the best of saints 

looks upon himself as one of 

the least of saints, 

"Unto me who am less than 

the least of all saints," 

said the great Paul in Ephesians 3:8

The most holy men, are 

always the most lowly men. 

Where humility is the corner-stone, 

there piety is the top-stone. 

The coat of humility, should always 

be worn on the back of Christianity. 

"Clothe yourselves with humility." 

1 Peter 5:5 

GOD Almighty has two houses 

in which HE dwells: HIS city-house, 

and HIS country-house. 
HIS city-house is the Heaven 

of heavens; and HIS country-house 

is the humble and lowly heart. 

Isaiah 57:15, "I dwell in the high 

and holy place," 

that is, in Heaven, GOD'S 

city-house; 

"and also with him who is of a 

contrite and humble spirit," 

(Isaiah 57:15Dd)

that is GOD'S country-house. 

Humility is a Bethel for GOD'S 

dwelling-place. 
Pride is a Babel for the devil's 

residence. 

If you do not keep pride out of your 

soul, and your soul out of pride--

pride will keep your soul out of Heaven.

I will not say, that a poor man 

is never proud, but I will say, 

that a proud man is never godly. 

James 4:16, "GOD resists the proud, 

but gives grace to the humble."

The face of piety, shines brightest 

through the mask of humility. 

"Clothe yourselves with humility." 

Of all garments, humility best fits 

Christians and best adorns their profession. 

A Christian should look with one eye 

upon GOD'S grace, to keep him thankful;
and with the other eye upon himself, 

to keep him mournful. 

When you begin to grow proud 

of your glistening feathers, look 

down upon your black feet. 

[Dyer is here alluding to the fact that 

most white-feathered swans have black 

skin underneath. Hence we should 

not be proud of our outwardly 

pure appearance, while our hearts 

are desperately wicked.]

Revelation 4:10, "The twenty-four 

elders fall down before the throne, 

and cast down their crowns before 

HIM who sits on the throne." 

The only way of keeping our crowns 

on our heads, is the casting them 

down at CHRIST'S feet. 

Alas, sirs, what are you proud of? 

Are you proud . . .
  of your riches,
  of your honors,
  of your relations,
  of your beauty,
  of your strength? 
Alas, alas! these are poor base 

things to boast in. 

Oh, go to the graves of those who 

have died before you. Are not their 

bones scattered, their eyes rotted, 

their flesh consumed, their mouth 

corrupted. Where now are their 

ruddy lips, their lovely cheeks, 

their fluent tongue, their sparkling 

eyes, their flowing hair? Are they 

not all gone, as a dream! 

And where will you be before long?
And will you be proud of these things?

"I hate pride and arrogance." 

Proverbs 8:13

"HE is able to humble those 

who walk in pride." Daniel 4:37
