False Humility

It comes as no surprise that anything that is false isn't a good attribute. The Bible teaches us to depend of God and not on ourself, leading to humility attributing all success to God. The problem occurs when God uses someone and later that person thinks or says "I guess I was expecting too much of myself." This is failure to realize that you were expecting nothing from yourself and everything from God. When you later reflect on a prior high point and say it is too much, then you are in essence saying that you no longer look to God, but to yourself. God demands recognition for all that He does and failure to point to Him as your strength results in spiritual bankruptcy.
