Bible Verse of The Day – 7-2-25

James 4:10 (LSB) 10 Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

If we do a search of the entirety of the word of God, we will find that the word, “humble” is used at least 70 times.

Additionally, “humility” is used at least 10 times.

It is safe to say that God wants us to be humble before Him.

Humility is a quality that we must not only understand, but practice daily.

If we see ourselves for who we truly are apart from God, we will readily allow God to teach us humility.

Some of us learn humility more easily than others. Some require God to apply discipline and chastening for us to learn humility.

Some of us must fail many times and see ourselves in our failed state before we humble ourselves in His sight.

Eventually, we must see the pride that is in us, even in the most hidden places, and allow God to root it out if we wish to walk closely with Him.

How important is this? See what is said here in Proverbs.

Proverbs 3:34 (LSB) 34 Though He scoffs at the scoffers, Yet He gives grace to the humble.

To those who are haughty (scoffers, scornful, condescending), God scorns (ridicules, rejects, looks down on) them.

But to those who walk in humility, He gives grace (undeserved favor, pardon, generosity, blessing).

Humility is also associated with being meek. What did Jesus say about those who are meek?

Matthew 5:5 (NKJV) 5 Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.

Let us endeavor in our hearts to learn to walk in humility, that we would be pleasing to God.

Amen
