Taking a Spill in “High Heels”
Jan 18

High heels are so much fun to wear. They are so feminine and can really elongate your legs and make you feel pretty. Sometimes all it takes is a cute high heel to lift a girl’s spirits up. On the other hand, some “high heels” can cause us to take quite a spill. This would include the “high heels” of pride and haughtiness.
Just because high heels can cause you to trip and fall, does not mean you can never wear them. You just have to wear the right ones. My adorable husband, Rick, knows that a sure way to make me smile is to compliment my shoes by saying, “Cute shoes!” What “cute shoes” does the Word of God encourage us to wear? Try a pair of “humble high heels”. Being a lady who practices humility will ensure you do not trip and fall.
Dearest girlfriends, let us kick off the “high heels” of pride and haughtiness in our life and slip on the “high heels” of humility.
Pride ends in a fall, while humility brings honor. ~ Proverbs 29:23 TLB
Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall. ~ Proverbs 16:18 NLT
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. ~ Philippians 2:3 NIV
Humility and the fear of the LORD bring wealth and honor and life. ~ Proverbs 22:4 NIV
Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor. ~ Proverbs 18:12 NIV
When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. ~ Proverbs 11:2 NIV
Since God chose you to be the holy people whom he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. ~ Colossians 3:12 NLT
