Put On Humility

1 PETER 5:5 NKJ 5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”

Don’t run around spiritually naked! Clothe yourself with humility!

Humility will protect you, just as clothing protects your body. Without humility you are exposed and vulnerable.

Without being clothed with humility, you risk embarrassment. Humility will keep you from the mistakes of pride.

What is humility? Humility is an attitude, a way of thinking. It is remembering that you only know in part.

True humility is not putting yourself down, but simply seeing yourself as the Bible says you are. “I am what I am by the grace of God.” Everything you have is a gift from God. So without Him, you can do NOTHING!

Humility is the opposite of pride. Pride is the wrong estimation of yourself, and of others. It is forgetting that others are very important to God and greatly loved by Him.

1 CORINTHIANS 4:7 NKJ 7 For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

Pride focuses on what I deserve and creates dissatisfaction. But humility appreciates everything.

The proud person always blames God (or someone else) because they don’t accept that they could be at fault.

Without humility you will be deceived. You will buy the lie that you have been mistreated by God. So instead of realizing that you, and other people disobeying God, are the cause of all your problems, you will blame God.

COLOSSIANS 3:12 NIV 12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

SAY THIS: I will not forget to put on my humility clothes.

Glorify God In Death

ECCLESIASTES 3:1-2 KJV 1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; Death is a part of life we cannot escape. The Bible does not say a certain time has been determined for you to die. It says it has been appointed for us to die once. After death there will be judgment (not reincarnation.) HEBREWS 9:27 KJV 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: There is a time to die. When you have lived a full life, then it is time to face death. It is also a good time to die when you can glorify God by your death. Too many people think life is to be grasped at any cost. Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s, and we should seek to glorify Him and please Him. JOHN 21:19 KJV 19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. ROMANS 14:
