Humility Draws Christ
“Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.” (1 Peter 5:5)
Today’s Morsel: Humility is a powerful trait of character. Like the other traits of character, this trait, too, is birthed out of a continual day to day spiritual lifestyle. Humility comes about remaining abase, not thinking more highly of yourself then you ought. It’s developed by taking the lower seat and not elevating yourself to any position of authority or role. It’s allowing God to do and place you in whatever positions he may have for you. Humility will draw God to you. David said that God is nigh them that are of a broken heart. He’s not talking about those who get caught with their hand in the cookie jar and start crying because they got caught and must now face the consequences. He’s talking about those who display a heart of compassion, those who consider the well-being of others and go about to alleviate their suffering. If you remain humble, God will exalt you in due time.
Sing: I thought that number one, would surely be me, I thought I could be, whatever I wanted to be. I thought I could build on life’s sinking sand, but I can’t even walk without You holding my hand.
Lord, I can’t even walk without You holding my hand, the mountains to high and the valleys to wide. Down on my knees that’s where I learn to stand, and I can’t even walk without You holding my hand.
Thought For Today: “The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” (Psalms 34:18)
