The two ought not be mutually exclusive.
If you're smart, you'll be humble.
Selwyn Hughes (www.everydaywithjesus.com) quotes Eccl. 7:19-24 in his devotional today. It's powerful stuff.
Personally I'm not about to pretend to be wise, but I do want to be humble enough to recognise that my life is really a lot more like what Paul describes in Romans 7, than some gloriously victorious conquest over the overbearing human tendency to NOT do what's right.
Hughes quotes a friend of his and Chuck Swindoll respectively:
"When people criticise me, I am thankful they don't know how bad I really am, or they would have much worse to say."
And ...
"Give God thanks that people are just hitting the visible, not the whole truth".
Think about it. Be honest. Be wise.
