Psalm 25:8&9 Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.
Strive for Humility
* Submit to God’s will and recognize his authority.
We are dependent on him. Humility brings us closer to him and acknowledges our need for God. Each morning start your day with studying a scripture reading and give time alone with God before the day absorbs you.
* Be outwardly focused
Humility involves servant leadership and prioritizing the need of others. Humility is a stewardship that recognizes our limitation and the need to rely on God. Create a daily list of opportunities. Ask for God’s guidance. Whatever is chosen, is done in his service. Embrace the journey rather than the accomplishment. Know that each step creates an opportunity to spread God’s word and the share the unbound love of Jesus.
* Embrace imperfection
Humility sees us as we are, fallen in sin and helpless without God. No need to hide behind arrogance or pride. Set aside ego and embrace vulnerability. Allow for a genuine connection with others which leads to a more fulfilling relationship. Embrace your community for support.
Prayer: Father, we believe in your salvation and wisdom. Often times our pride gets the better of us. Rather than absorbing our imperfections, we cover it with arrogance and pride. We ask that you open our hearts and minds, that we may become your humble children. In the ultimate act of humility, because of his love for us, Jesus was crucified for our sins. We ask that you continue to walk with us on our journey. In your son Jesus Christ, we pray. AMEN
