Being humble is bold

Greetings:
The Bible says a humble heart trembles before God’s Word.
Look at Isaiah 66:2 (NLT). It says: “My hands have made both heaven and earth; they and everything in them are mine.  I, the Lord, have spoken! 'I will bless those who have humble and contrite hearts, who tremble at my word'.”
Are we trembling as we read God's Word or just reading it and not truly understanding what God is telling us?
Those with humble hearts don’t read God’s Word carelessly, but rather with hearts that are tender and open to hear what God’s Word might have to say to them to convict them or teach them.
When we are humble we take God’s Word seriously and soak it up like a sponge and the act of hearing it with great reverence and persistence.
When we are humble we actually believe God's Word rather than just read it.
There is a love and value for what God says that clearly sets apart the humble from the proud.
Humility must be the object of special desire and made a part of our character through prayer, faith, study, and discipline.
We must acknowledge that there‘s nothing good in ourselves, except as we are made a servant unto God.
We must let our natural self-die in order to become a vessel to the glory of God.
The humble heart values the welfare of others ahead of its own.
Philippians 2:3(NLT) says, “Don't be selfish; don't live to make a good impression on others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself."
Humility leads us to admit our need for God.
Humility will lead us to appreciate God, trust God's will for our lives, and give God the glory for all we are and all we will be in the future.
Be blessed.
