Humility -
It is utterly pointless to have knowledge of humility without servitude. The recognition of humility in others is often seen through the benefits which accompany humility as a characteristic, then the downside is the expectation and not the posture. Understanding humility and not practicing humility, mostly because the heart is not in a place where it can be humbled is simply an understanding to project onto others as an expectation. A more true manifestation of humility comes in service to others. And yes, it is not hard to be humbled by God, before God, specially in an understanding of His majesty. On the horizontal field it yields an understanding that your neighbor is just as in need of God's grace as you once were [and continue to be], and that God wants to spread His grace through servitude, thus you can be comfortable with the idea of serving the fellowship table and not have to compete for the highest place at the table. - That is what I would define as meekness.
