All Three!!!

By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life. Proverbs 22:4

Will you take three for two? I know it doesn't sound like an even exchange, but it is a guaranteed reward. It will require you to do something. Question #1: Can you humble yourself without being forced? If you answered yes, proceed to the next question. If you hesitated, struggled, or found difficulty answering yes its possible you have a problem with pride.

The opposite of humility is pride. There are many forms of pride. Can you recognize pride in your life? Don't wait too late. Make your confession to God and seek His forgiveness. God hates pride. Now you can join the ranks and proceed to the next question.

Question #2: Do you fear the Lord? If you answered yes, you are ready to receive All Three. If the question caught you off guard, baffled, or tongue-tied you may be lacking wisdom. Maybe a little arrogant. Be not dismayed, it's just time to make a change. The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. Psalm 25:14

But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children.
Psalm 103:17 

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.  
Psalm 111:10 

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.  
Proverbs 1:7

Now that you fear the Lord, hurry and join the ranks, because you're ready to receive All Three. You need both to get All Three. You can't have humility without the fear of the Lord and you won't have the fear of the Lord without humility. You need both to get All Three. Your humility and fear of the Lord qualifies you for riches, and honour, and life.

Who wouldn't take three for two? 

All Three!!!
