:: Humble Enough to........

Humility is not a popular human trait in the modern world; it's not touted in the talk shows or listed with core values.

 

The basic reason for this is not hard to find: humility can only survive in the presence of God, when God goes, humility goes, in fact you might say that humility follows God like a shadow, we can expect to find humility in our society as often as we find God, which means almost never.

 

The atmosphere we breathe is an enemy to humility, and if what is mentioned in the bible doesn't take root in our lives, we will not be a Christian church; and we will not be salt and light for the world. Humility is a major to the Christians; we should be humble, to defining mark of a true Christian.

 

God is opposed to the proud, nothing could be worse than to have an infinitely powerful and holy God opposed to you, don't be proud, and God gives grace to the humble and nothing could be better than to have an infinitely powerful and wise God treat us graciously, he does that to the humble, remember the reason is not that humility is a performance of virtue that earns grace but that humility is a confession of emptiness that receives grace.

 

Be a humble person because, if you are proud, God will be against you in your pride, but if you are humble he will give you grace, exalt you in due time, and care for you along the way so that you don't have to be anxious.

 

What is pride and humility?

What is the connection between humility and not being anxious?

 

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, 7 casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you." I think this means that casting your anxieties on God is an expression of humility; it's like saying, "Eat politely . . . chewing with your mouth shut." "Drive carefully . . . keeping your eyes open." "Be generous . . .

 

What Is Pride and Humility?

 

1. Pride Is Self-Satisfaction

2. Pride Is Self-Sufficiency and Self-Reliance

3. Pride Considers Itself Above Instruction

4. Pride Is Insubordinate

5. Pride Takes Credit for What God Alone Does

6. Pride Exults in Being Made Much Of

7. Pride Aspires to the Place of God

8. Pride Opposes the Very Existence of God

9. Pride Refuses to Trust in God

10. Pride Is Anxious About the Future

. .

Whenever your heart starts to be anxious about the future, preach to your heart and say, "Heart, who you think you are to be afraid of the future and nullify the promise of God? No, heart, I will not exalt myself with anxiety, I will humble myself in peace and joy as I trust this precious and great promise of God he cares for me.
