Judges 19-20, John 3:22-4:3, Psalms 104:24-35, Proverbs 14:22-24
What God said to me – True humility is rare now days. Society says, “look out for number one” or “you deserve the best” or “you’re perfect the way you are.” There is even a new term called the “humblebrag” where you brag about an accomplishment while at the same time saying, “aw shucks, I don’t even think I’m that good.” My children are to put on hearts of compassion and kindness and humility. So, what is humility? It is not abasing or belittling yourself – it is an accurate assessment of who you are in the light of who “I AM” – it is a realization that all you are and have and do is because of My grace and mercy at work in your life and that apart from Me, you are nothing. It is not thinking more highly of yourself than you ought to think. As John the Baptist said, “He must increase, and I must decrease.” You must humble yourself under My mighty hand and walk in a manner worthy of your calling and there will come a time when you will be exalted as a precious child of the King.
