HUMILITY counts!
You’re not too small for God to use & You’re not too big for God to replace. Be humble and serve God.
The Bible speaks a lot about humility, especially in the New Testament. In fact, the Bible is filled with passages that command us to be humble.
They’re not just suggestions. Humility is of upmost importance in the eyes of God. Interestingly, God would put so much emphasis on it.
It’s an attribute that can be difficult to master. A lot of us have trouble not being prideful or thinking of ourselves as better than others. The funny thing is that if we’re humble and believe that we’re nothing without God, we will be elevated.
When we think of humility, we often think of a self-effacing person or someone who lacks self-confidence. We may think of a person who doesn’t think very highly of him or herself. But God views humility in a completely different way. It is not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who think they are humble and those who are humble.
We all have a sense of our humility, and we could probably name other people who are really full of themselves and so out of touch with reality that they might as well think they are an emperor.
But the truth is that most of us are a mix of both. We believe we sometimes act humble, but we sometimes work full of ourselves. And we can tell ourselves that humility is the spiritual ideal, but we aren’t sure how to achieve it.
Whichever the case, if we submit ourselves to God, He can shape us. He can help us in our weaknesses to be genuinely humble to His satisfaction and qualify for his blessing.
