Humility

President Trump was disappointed and humbled by his unexpected defeat in the recent 2020 USA Presidential elections. Humble pies are not tasty and are disgraceful. However, humility has to be learnt by all who are proud, who think of themselves more highly than others. Once the lesson is learnt, it will be the Lord who will be lifter of the humbled’s head.

Job 42:12So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, …
