        A. Fine balance of believer's life.
                1. Righteousness and humility - 2 qualities.
                        a. Impossible to consciously display them.
                        b. Some people attempt to display righteousness.
                                1. By their dress
                                2. In their worship
                                3. In their canversation
                        c. An attempt to reveal only testifies to a lack.
                        d. Same is true of humility - can not be
                           displayed - it just shows.
                2. Had Solomon attempted to show wisdom, would have
                   brought glory to self.
                        a. This is underlying reason why person seeks to
                           display - not to glorify God but self.
                3. Our chief purpose is to brIng glory to God.
