Good morning humble ones!

TRUE HUMILITY requires you to submit to God’s Word and His plan for your life rather than your own words and plans.  Trust Him for everything you need.  When you submit your will to God’s will, you will experience lasting success and honor.

We are to HUMBLE ourselves before God.  Micah 6:6-8 declares,

  • The Lord has told you what is good, and this is what He requires of you:  To do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk HUMBLY with your God.

Walking in TRUE HUMILITY means to be submissive and compliant. HUMILITY reduces the power of independence and ensures dependence on God.

True success is fulfilling God’s will for your life.  God is not going to tell you to do something that is going to hurt you.  No, Jeremiah 29:11 says,

  • “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord.  “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

God’s plans for you are designed to prosper you.  God will always give you the desire to do what He has called you to do!  God will not make you do something that will destroy you or that is unfulfilling.  I encourage you to trust that God’s plan for your life is the best plan and will bring enjoyment.

So, let us HUMBLE ourselves the way Jesus did.  Philippians 2:8 declares,

  • …He HUMBLED Himself in obedience to God…

TRUE HUMILITY is demonstrated by lying at the feet of Jesus.  When Jesus fed the four thousand, there were many of the multitudes who were lame, blind, and had all types of sickness.  They would kneel down at Jesus’ feet to be healed.  In Matthew 15:30 we read,

  • A vast crowd brought to Him people who were lame, blind, crippled, those who could not speak, and many others.  They laid them before Jesus, and He healed them all.

Another example was when Jesus healed Jairus’ daughter.  He fell down at Jesus’ feet and submitted himself to Him.

When you HUMBLE yourself to God, God will do two things:

1. He will lift you up (see James 4:10)

2. You will experience the graciousness of God in your life.

1 Peter 5:6 says,

  • So HUMBLE yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time He will lift you up in honor.

Humbling myself under the mighty hand of God,
