Bible Verse of The Day – 3-16-18

Matthew 18:4 (NKJV) 4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 

Who will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 

This is a question that the disciples asked Jesus. They were trying to figure out which of them would be the greatest. 

Wow! When Jesus heard their question, He wasted no time in putting them in their places and setting the record straight! 

Jesus had them bring a small child to Him. He told the disciples that whoever humbles themselves like a little child will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. This was definitely not what they had expected to hear. 

God and man think differently. Man looks at outward things, while God looks at inward things. 

We see accomplishments, while God sees our heart and its motives. 

Humility is a hard thing for many of us. We have a tough time getting past our own skills, talents and accomplishments. But we need to remember that it was God himself who gave us those very same skills and talents! 

Without Him, we can do nothing. 

John 15:5 (NKJV) 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 

It’s important that we keep God first. He will teach us to be humble in everything that we do.
