H-Humble. Today we will be talking about being humble. This is probably one of the hardest things to do is to be humble. So much wants to take over pride, the flesh, greed, jealousy, and anything you can think of. We need to not be all of those things and we need to be humble and stay humble. This doesn't mean we have to live with nothing or have nothing or anything like that it just means we need to have a humble heart with what we have and what we do. Let's look at what the bible says about this subject. Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you. James 4:10 NASB. The first verse I found says we are to humble ourselves and then if we are He will exalt us. In the American Standard Bible, the word humble is mentioned 89. In the Amplified Bible, it is mentioned 110 and in the King James Bible, it is mentioned 56 times. So, as I say and have learned through my experiences and research if things are mentioned like this so many times it must be important.
Let's look at another verse on this very important subject, in Matthew 23:12 it says, And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted. We need to be humble so we are not humbled, I have learned that the hard way, I don't know about you. to go further we need to be like children when being humbles as it says in Matthew 18:4 and it says, Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. we need to be like children to further this though let's look at Matthew 18:3 and it says, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.
We are told to grow up all our lives but if we are to enter the kingdom of God we need to be like children. Children are humble and not proud and those other things I mentioned above because according to the Bible they are innocent. Philippians 2:15 talk just about this and it says, so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world.
Are you like children? Are you humble or prideful? Are you like the pharisees or like Jesus? think of these things and make changes if you need to!!!
Have a beyond blessed day!!!!!!
