HUMILITY

BE HUMBLE
Pride is to make yourself better than others and higher than others. But you’re not. Because, the Bible says: “But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away.”( Isaiah 64:6 NKJV).

“Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword”; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken. (Isaiah : 18-20 NKJV).


“Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them,  and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.  Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.”(Matthew 18: 2-5 NKJV).


  However, He also said in,James 4:6-8 :
“But he gives more GRACE. Therefore he says, God RESISTS the PROUD, but gives GRACE unto the HUMBLE.
SUBMIT yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God, and HE will DRAW NEAR to you…”


Then 1 Peter 5:5-6 tells us,
Likewise, you younger, SUBMIT yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be SUBJECT one to another, and be clothed with HUMILITY: for God resists the PROUD, and gives GRACE to the HUMBLE.
HUMBLE yourselves therefore UNDER the MIGHTY HAND of God, that he may EXALT you in due time:
-Whosoever God exalts is still humble, but whosoever exalts himself is still proud.

Look at this example of Jesus in Philippians 2:5-11 NKJV :
” Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,  who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.  And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,  that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,  and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[ Jude : 24-25 NKJV].

+++Let the Word of God be the standard for your life.
Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!
