Humility

Is it just me or does humility seem to be a lost art? The Apostle Paul in his letters articulates humility, but it seems to be absent today in the Lords church. Even meny "men of God" seem to have forgotten what humility is, Let alone the world.

Lets look at three descriptions Paul has of himself in his writing;

I am the least of the apostles. 1 Corinthians 15:9

I am the very least of all the saints. Ephesians 3:8

I am the foremost of sinners. 1 Timothy 1:15

With each description Paul seems to be a little harsher on himself. I can't help but think that as he grows in the Lord the more humble he became. The Bible is full of humble men bowing down before God. A Godly heart is one that bows down in humility and rises up in praise to a risen Savior.
