Winning . . . . at what price?
Prov. 16:19
Better it is to be of a humble spirit [modest, respectful, direct, sincere, lacking any form of deceitfulness]
with the meek and poor [those who don’t seek to beat any or every opponent or enemy in a competition or fight]
than to divide the spoil [conquer and win]
with the proud. [arrogant and self-confident, which leads to carelessness of living]
-------------------------
Pray the Word:
Lord, in this world, the winner-takes-it-all culture is prevalent almost everywhere. But, it appears that You are warning us that there is something more to life than winning at any cost. In the long-run, A winning disposition is far better than a winning position.
