Proverbs 22:4 (NKJV) 4 By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life.
Humility. It’s something that’s talked about and taught throughout the Bible, God’s word.
Being humble is very often misunderstood. Humility has nothing to do with our physical size, personality type, financial status, how big or small our house is, what kind of car or truck we drive, whether we own a boat or not or where we live.
It has everything to do with our heart. And what’s in our heart will show in our attitude.
Being humble means that we don’t know everything. We can be taught or corrected without thinking we always have the answer. Sometimes we might have the answer, but we may still be better off to listen to someone, rather than prove that we’re right.
Being humble means saying we’re sorry when we’ve done something stupid. It means that we take responsibility for the mistakes we’ve made and we don’t try to pass the blame onto someone else, even if they have made mistakes too.
Being humble means that we come before God with our heart soft and broken, willing to listen to Him and accept admonishment for our mistakes. It means that we listen to Him and then we do what He tells us to do, without questioning Him.
Humility is the foundation of our walk with God, because being humble means that we recognize Him as the Head of everything we do in life.
Micah 6:8 (NKJV) 8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
