Today's Scripture *March 10, 2010*
Titus 3: 2
They must not slander anyone and must avoid quarreling. Instead, they should be gentle and show true humility to everyone.
How does one "show true humility" ?
Humility is a very elusive character trait, yet the Bible regards it as a highly important quality. Jesus referred to Himself as "humble and gentle at heart" (Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ) In Romans 12:3 , Paul wrote the clearest definition of humility apart from Jesus' own example: Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don't think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.
Humility, then, boils down to having an honest estimate of ourselves before God. We show false humility when we project negative worth on our abilities and efforts. We show pride when we inflate the value of our efforts or look down on others. True humility seeks to view our character and accomplishments honestly. Recognizing that we have succeeded in an effort need not be pride. But always remember, apart from God we could not have truly succeeded. Give Him the glory!
John 15: 5 “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.
Thank You Jesus! Thank You for all that You have done in our lives!
Thank You for all that You do through us! Use us and mold us into Your likeness more and more each passing day.
We recognize that apart from You we can do nothing. May we always seek Your will and Your face in all we do.
In Jesus' Name, Amen..
Be blessed!
