Are You Humble?

Are You Humble?

Dear Lord, I pray for those who are humble. In Jesus’ name, amen.

A person with humility can be said to have an unassuming nature.

The relationship between God and mankind is a topic worthy of endless discussion. Once people understand how almighty and powerful God is, and how limited we men and women are, then it becomes possible to realize God is God.

We need to be humble in his presence.

Proverbs 15:33 (ESV) is about instruction in wisdom and how humility relates.

“The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom,
and humility comes before honor.”

Put God’s power into perspective.

Humbly come before him with praise and adoration.

Selfish Ambition!

Selfish Ambition!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who want to avoid selfish ambition and conceit. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Selfish ambition and conceit are problematic.

What is the alternative?

Apostle Paul wanted the people of Philippi to get along. To assure this happened, he writes about it in Philippians 2:3-4 (ESV).

“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”

This advice is applicable today.

Be humble. Think more highly of others.

Humiliation or Honor?

Humiliation or Honor?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who are humble. In Jesus’ name amen.

Proverbs 29:23 (ESV) draws a stark contrast.

“One’s pride will bring him low,
but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.”

The notes to Proverbs 29:23 in the English Standard Version of the Bible say, “Paradoxically, pride brings humiliation while humility bring honor.”

Micah 6:8 (ESV) says,

“He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?”

Let God direct your paths, and remain humble.

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know when pride comes, then comes disgrace. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Pride can be person’s downfall. How serious is it? Mark 7:20-23 (ESV) is quoting Jesus.

“And he said, “’What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.’”

Proverbs 11:2 (ESV) contrasts pride with humility.

“When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with the humble is wisdom.”
