How Humble Are You
“Yea, all of you be subject to one another, and be clothed with humility: for God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.” 1 Peter 5:5
Did you ever listen to a convicting message and find yourself saying, “I sure hope ______ heard this!” or “Wow – my wife needs this message.”
Well this week we have been talking about humility. I got clobbered big time. Bill Gothard’s list today asks the questions: How Humble are YOU?
- When people disagree with you, do you argue for YOUR position?
- Do you tend to cut off those who ignore YOU?
- Are you hurt when those whom you dislike are honored?
- Do you find it difficult to admit you are wrong?
- Do you inwardly react when people criticize you?
- Do you inwardly react when people criticize you?
- Do you give your opinions before having been asked for them?
- Do you enjoy sharing about your accomplishments?
- Do you talk more than you listen?
- Are you more concerned about your reputation or God’s?
- Do you give the impression that you have no problems?
- Do you seek ways to humble yourself?
- Do you do things for praise and compliments?
- Do you accept praise rather than deflecting it?
- Are you quick to correct others when they make a mistake?
- Do you react when you do not receive credit you are due?
- Do you feel important?
- Do you compare yourself to others rather than to God?
Quite a list of questions. How did you do? You willing to ask the hard questions? How do you think your spouse and kids would answer? Your friends and co-workers. How humble are you?
Running the race with joy,
