Humility Is A Choice

9/20/2017

So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Humility - thinking of yourself less, not thinking less of yourself. Humility is a choice. The scripture for today tells us to "humble ourselves". We are called to choose an attitude that submits to God. Our natural, sinful condition makes us prone to pride. Pride is destructive. Proverbs 16:18-19 says "Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall. Better to live humbly with the poor than to share plunder with the proud.” ‭‭NLT‬‬
Here are a few other proverbs on the matters of pride and humility:
“Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭11:2‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“Pride leads to conflict; those who take advice are wise.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13:10‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“Pride ends in humiliation, while humility brings honor.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭29:23‬ ‭NLT‬‬
Willful humility brings God's favor. Stubborn pride brings humiliation.
God has left the choice to you.
