While it takes grace to take the low place, it takes more grace to do it in the right spirit. There is such a thing as taking the low place with the spirit of an injured man, and with the feeling that you are some kind of a martyr.
True humility, on the other hand, will take the low place cheerfully and not only submit to the will of God but agree to the same. A false humility is pride in disguise.
True humility can not only take the low place, but any place, provided the Lord is glorified.
