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?
In the verse above there is a lot to take in. There’s a lot of “meat” there. But, today, let’s take a look at the last part; to walk humbly with your God.
Humility and pride; two complete opposites. To be humble means to drop our pride. That’s a big deal and it can take a lot of work and effort for some of us.
Pride is a killer of so many things; relationships, opportunities, careers, friendships and many more. But most importantly, it can kill our walk with God if we’re not careful.
Proverbs 11:2 (NKJV) 2 When pride comes, then comes shame; but with the humble is wisdom.
God wants us to walk before Him humbly. If we are to ever build a relationship with Him, we need to let Him show us where we’re carrying pride and then let Him help us to lay that pride down.
He will show us everything we need to know if we let Him. It might hurt a little at first. Heck, it might even hurt a lot, but our hurts will heal once we get past ourselves and let God work in us, to mold us and shape us into who He made us to be.
The less we fight Him on this, the less it will hurt. And the less we resist, the sooner we can get ourselves fixed up and moving in the direction He wants for us.
Remember; it’s better to get right with God than to always be right!
