Humility is not self-abasing, it is not an act that feeds the self, it is lowliness and takes service as the highest incentive to action. Saul lost his humility as a leader and became unusable to God because of his attitude, whereas David had a heart open to receive correction when he was confronted with his sin. A humble perspective puts things in proper order; even the lowly things have a place in God's order. VF-2133
