HUMILITY

September 17, 2021 by Rosemary Welch

Humility is the acknowledgement that we are unworthy of God’s grace and mercy. We do serve an awesome God! Today’s verses: Proverbs 11:2; Isaiah 57:15; Jeremiah 9:23-24; Micah 6:8; Philippians 2:5-8; and James 4:10. Have a blessed day.

Humility is an accurate esteeming of ourselves before God and man. It is the recognition of being unworthy to receive God’s grace and mercy. A humble person is characterized by acknowledging and confessing sin, as well as willing submission to the Word of God, God’s sovereign plans, and God-given human authority. Humility lays down any perceived rights, plans, or desires.

HUMILITY in the heart says things such as: “I am unworthy to receive God’s grace.” “I will submit my will to God’s Word and obey through His enabling grace.” “I acknowledge my sin before God and others.”

Proverbs 11:2. When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

Isaiah 57:15. For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Jeremiah 9:23‭. Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: 24. But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

Micah 6:8. He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Philippians 2:5‭. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6. Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

James 4:10. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
