“Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.” 1 Peter 3:8 (NIV)
“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:6 (NKJV)
Today, we are challenged to practice humility in our lives.
Humility is not proud or rude, it is courteously respectful and modest.
Humility is a character trait that is lacking in our culture.
Humility is not weak, nor is it passive.
Humility stoops down and lifts the lowly, turning paupers to princes!
Humble people know who they are and they know that God is for them, so they are able to rest.
They don’t need to strain and strive.
Heavenly Father, I confess that I am not a humble person. I consider Jesus, who left the glory, splendor and comfort of heaven to our world. The King of Kings choose to be born in a stable, when He deserved a royal palace. He gave up His rights and walked upon this earth, experiencing pain, hardship, struggle, work, strain and suffering. Today, I choose to follow in the footsteps of my gentle Savior. I lay down my rights and I stoop down to lift the lowly You set in my path today.
