Humility Is God’s Way

A man’s pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honor. Proverbs 29:23

Yesterday I shared with you 7 things that Dr. Henry Blackaby reminded us about what pride will do to us. Taking those same seven things and looking at them through the lens of humility is quite different:

1. Humility will move us to ask forgiveness for those we have hurt or offended.
2. Humility will help us look at sin in our lives and deal with it.
3. Humility will cause you to decrease and Jesus increase.
4. Humility will give you delight in serving others.
5. Humility will give you the desire to honor others rather than yourself..
6. Humility will allow us to listen to the Nathans God will bring into our lives to help us grow.
7. Humility invites accountability into our lives.

Prayer in faith is anything but common, in fact, that our Lord questions if He shall find any of it on the earth, when He comes back again. Charles Trumbell
