What the Scriptures have to say about meekness and humility.

“The people I treasure most are the humble, they depend only on me and tremble when I speak.” — ISAIAH 66:2
Our God is a God who delights in the humble and the meek. Humility attracts the presence of god., unleashes the power of God, and pours out the provision of God. One of the prerequisites to spiritual revival is humility. “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves…” (2 chronicles 7:14)
To be humble does not mean that we see ourselves as inferior or incapable of doing and becoming something great. Such thoughts are nothing but false humility. Thinking this way deprives us of the joy of appreciating the gifts, talents, and abilities that God gave us. As a result, we became ungrateful and insecure…but not humble.
True humility is the ability to see ourselves as God sees us. It is coming to a position of knowing who God is and who are in His sight. We realize our littleness in comparison to his bigness.
We practice humility when we give up our right to be right, when we die to ourselves, when we have a sense of our own unworthiness and are thrilled that God would use us in ministry at all.
We are humble when we recognize we still have a whole lot more to learn, and how much we need to encounter God everyday. We are humble when we tremble every time He speaks to us. His Word gripping our hearts in fear and reverent awe.
We become humble when we see ourselves as empty vessels waiting for God to fill us and when we recognize that we are “nothing” being shaped by God into “something”.

I want to share another verse from the Bible about humility that I consider a golden rule, "He who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself, will be exalted by God."
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more... To be humble doesnt mean that we see ourselves as inferior or incapable of becoming great, but the ability to see ourselves as God sees us.
ReplyDeletehow wonderful it is to start the day reading this inspirational words
ReplyDeleteI never know you personally, Sir Donald but HUMILITY speaks strongly in your character and I am lucky to have met an online acquaintance like you. Your being humble makes me see the kindness of your heart.
ReplyDeleteGreat man can be called one if there's humility in their character.
DeleteWhen we become humble we become open to life's blessing with no resistance.
ReplyDeleteIt is great that you define the differentiation between insecurity and humility because those two are often confusing our understanding of the terms.
ReplyDeleteLet me add a definition of your subject. It says "True Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less" by C.S. Lewis.
ReplyDeleteThis is all I can say about humility: "Blessed are the meek,
ReplyDeletefor they shall inherit the earth. "

This is a very inspiring verse and God's words Papaleng :-) I myself is a humble person but sometimes there are people that step on you :-( It makes me mad and fight back :-)
ReplyDeletevery inspiring post papaleng! only a few people I know who are humble.
ReplyDeleteRight, Papaleng, it is always good to keep your feet grounded amidst all your achievements in life. This makes life more worth living.
ReplyDeleteI agree too with your definition. I also believe that we are humble if we acknowledge that we cannot do anything away from God.
ReplyDeleteNo matter what we believe in, it is important to be humble- and even though I haven't met you in person, I think I can say that you are a nice and humble person Papaleng :)
