Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high? Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven and in the earth? He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill. Psalms 113:5-7. He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts, (though outwardly they seem to be humble). He hath put down the mighty from their seats, (as he did to him that said, is not this great Babylon? ) and exalted them of low degree. Luke 1:54. Therefore seek meekness, humbleness. Zephaniah 2:3.

All things in heaven, even the highest angels, being so exceedingly humble before the majesty of God, (Isa. 6.) how much more shall we be laid low upon the earth, who still have so much sin? Even the most righteous have still some hidden corruption left in their hearts, which appears to them more and more as they grow in grace. For though we should not feel it always, we must not imagine that there is none; it lies concealed only, and is so much more dangerous, as perhaps it may be a beginning of presumption and backsliding. Therefore take care and be not proud. For such as pretend to have done with sin, are not of the right spirit.

Lo! at thy feet with awful fear
The adoring armies fall!
With joy they shrink to nothing there
Before the eternal All.

There I would lie with all the host,
In duty and in bliss:
While less than nothing I could boast,
And vanity confess.
