Greetings:
Being humble is key in our Christian walk. We have to continually be on guard to maintain our humility or we can be quickly fooled into thinking that we did something great and not God.
Look what Peter has to say about humility in 1 Peter 5:5. He reminds the younger men to be subject to the older men…but goes on to say that there needs to be a cross-generational humility, too. He says, “All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God oppressed the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
1 Peter 5:6 adds that God exalts us at the proper time if we are clothed with a teachable spirit, vulnerability, approachability and gentleness—that’s what humility means.
Churches with a future are those that are clothed with humility.
Churches with openness and communication are those that are clothed with humility.
Churches that are servant-oriented are those that are clothed with humility.
Don’t worry about being overlooked or forgotten or at the end of the line. Let humility be an identifying mark of our spirituality.
Proverbs 3:34 reminds us, “God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.”
Always remember Philippians 2:2-3, which reads, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests but also to the interests of others. Enough said.
Be blessed.
