When the Humble Are Glad

Psalms 34:2 KJV
My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

There is much in the way of humility found within this Psalm. Here we learn of one difference between the humble and the proud; the humble are glad to hear people boast in the Lord.

Not so with the proud and leaders of this world. They want to hear about men. They want to make much of personalities. They want to point out the strengths of one another.

They like to hear about the biggest
They like to hear about the fastest
They like to hear about the best


They love to hear how something has grown. They like to talk about plans and programs.

The humble just want to hear about the LORD. The humble are not so interested in what has worked and what is popular. They are so prone to pick out their favorite or to lift up the names of men. They only want to hear about Jesus. They want to hear what God has done. They want to see Jesus.
