Tag: What the Bible says about humility

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-25-16

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?

To walk humbly with your God. Now that is something that each and every one of us should be pursuing.

Walking humbly is the key to growing in our relationship with Him. For with humility, we remain teachable and are willing to admit our failures and shortcomings.

With humility, we listen to those who are wiser than us and learn from the things they share with us.

With humility, we are never too old or too wise to learn something new.

And with humility, we grow to understand that the world doesn’t revolve around us, our wants and desires. But that others are important and deserve our time and attention.

And with humility, we grow to understand that God comes first in everything.

Proverbs 22:4 (NKJV) 4 By humility and the fear of the Lord Are riches and honor and life.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-8-15

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

In all your ways, acknowledge Him.

That’s a section of these verses that seems to get skipped over too often, while people focus on the first of the two verses.

The words “in all your ways acknowledge Him” are just as important as the rest of them, since acknowledging Him (submitting ourselves to Him) is critical to Him being able to direct our paths and bless us.

We spend so much time “chasing after God” and trying to put all the pieces of this great puzzle together. And in doing so, we tend to make things so much more complicated than they need to be.

God is big. There’s no doubt about that. And the things He does are intricately woven, which can make them seem very complicated. But as we begin to submit ourselves to Him, and humble ourselves, we will see His grace working in our lives.

Proverbs 3:34 (NKJV) 34 Surely He scorns the scornful, But gives grace to the humble.

This doesn’t mean that we can’t ask God questions, or that we have to understand everything about Him. But it means that no matter what comes our way, we can humble ourselves before Him and trust Him, even when we might not understand everything that’s going on.

That is true humility.

And humility is the key to growing in God and seeing our lives take shape as a believer.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-30-15

Proverbs 18:12 (NKJV) 12 Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, and before honor is humility.

Humility.

Without it, we can’t be saved. It takes humbling ourselves and admitting our need for God’s grace, mercy and salvation in order to receive it.

Without it, we can never be the person who God wants us to be. It takes humility to admit that we have faults and we need God to help us correct those faults.

Without it, we will continue to live in sinful ways. We need to be humble to allow the Holy Spirit to convict us of our sins and let Him show us where and how to change.

Without it, we will live a life full of unforgiveness against others. It takes being humble to admit that we are sometimes wrong and we need to forgive others when they do wrong to us.

Humility will lead us into God’s arms. Pride, the opposite of humility, will lead us away from His arms, and into the arms of the enemy, if we’re not careful.

We all need to seek God and ask Him to show us where we have pride in our lives, and ask Him to help us remove it so we can draw closer to Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-4-15

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!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-11-14

1 Peter 5:6 (NKJV) 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time…

Going back to a time in our lives when it was a season of financial decrease, there was a job opportunity that came knocking on our door. We were excited about the offer! Although, the more we prayed about it, the more we felt like it was not for us. Why God, Why?

So do we just stop praying and push through, taking the job offer that we think is perfect for us? Well, I guess we could have, but instead we did choose to humble ourselves and do it God’s way.

Too many times we have tried to do it our way and too many times it has come back to bite us.

We were in a situation where this job would have helped us out a lot, no doubt about that. We thought it would have brought stability, and it definitely would have. But It was not the answer to our prayer. It was not what God had for us at this time and this season in our life.

It was a hard thing to refuse that job, and our logical thinking was puzzled over it, but in our spirit man we knew it was what God wanted us to do.

It wasn’t until months later, we realized that if we had taken that position, we would have ruined great opportunities that were meant for us and It would have taken up all our time and energy.

Be careful when choosing the door to walk through. It is not always the one we think it might be. We need to be prayerful and humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God.
