Tag: Bible verses about being humble

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-27-25

James 4:6 (LSB) 6 But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

The word of God is full of references to pride and the problems associated with it.

And there are many accompanying people in the Bible whose lives were destroyed by pride.

You see, pride leads to the fall of even the strongest believers if it is left unchecked.

Conversely, humility is rewarded.

The verse above states clearly that God opposes the proud but gives grace to those who are humble. That verse alone should be enough to have us running as far from pride as we can get.

But sometimes we fail to see our own pride.

Why?

Because pride can be very subtle. It creeps in and dwells in us without us knowing it or, at the very least, acknowledging it.

And there it makes a comfy home until we recognize it for the evil that it is, and we evict it.

We must learn to walk humbly before God.

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

We can see the contrast between humility and pride in the lives of King David and King Saul.

One had a heart after God. The other allowed himself to be consumed by pride.

One, David, was promised that his dynasty would be carried out for generations. The other, Saul, had the kingdom torn from him because of his pride and disobedience.

1 Samuel 15:28 (LSB) 28 So Samuel said to him, “Yahweh has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to your neighbor, who is better than you.

Pride always precedes destruction.

Proverbs 16:18 (NKJV) 18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

Let us humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He might be exalted in our lives, and our pride be cast away from us all our days.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-11-25

Matthew 5:3 (NKJV) 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Upon studying this verse, I needed to understand what He meant, first by “poor in spirit”. This would allow me to know who receives the kingdom of heaven!

Another word for poor in this statement would be, humble.

According to proverbs 16:19 it is better to be of a humble spirit. It’s when we are humble that God can look upon us.

In Isaiah 66:2 who does God say He looks upon?

He says, on all those things I made, and of all the things that exist, it is on this one I will look; him who is poor (humble) and of a contrite spirit, the one who trembles at His word.

His Spirit will live and rest upon a man, woman, or child  who walks in such humility.

To be poor in spirit means that we have acknowledged a great need for Him, the importance of repentance, and Him saving us from our sinful selves.

We acknowledge, through a humble heart, that we must let Him change us and lead us the rest of our lives in our day to day activities and decisions.

Being poor in spirit is humility that comes through a God-changed heart.

We are blessed, for our home is with Him.

Amen.

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

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-19-24

Proverbs 11:2 (NKJV) 2 When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.

We live in a world that is full of self-absorbed philosophies and vain deceit.

If we are to remain humble, we must pay attention and work on it daily.

Here are a few things we can keep active in our walk with God that will help us remain humble.

Esteem (think of) others as better than ourselves.

Look out for the interest of others.

Continue to grow in hearing God and obeying His word.

Obeying the things He places on our hearts will not only keep us humble, but will also keep us walking in His wisdom.

What are the fruits of living a humble life?

It can improve relationships and make us more empathetic toward others. It also shows maturity on our part.

When we recognize our weaknesses and take responsibility for them, when we listen to others and admit when we are wrong, when we find it in ourselves to serve others without looking for something in return, this is evidence of us allowing God to build our character and make us more Christ-like.

Walking in humility is not something we can fake or mimic. It must come from the heart to make it meaningful.

The older I become the more I like being around humble people. They are real, and most of them have been through so much in their lives that when they talk they are full of not just stories, but experience, sound words, and wisdom.

This tells me that going through things in life isn’t always as bad as we’d like to claim it is, but can help us learn valuable lessons.

It can keep us in a good place in our walk with God.

Remember today, that with the humble is wisdom! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-4-23

Luke 14:11 (NKJV) 11 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Being humble simply means that we don’t think of ourselves as being better than anyone else. And that is a good thing.

Holding ourselves accountable to God will nip this right in the bud. But if we don’t stay accountable to Him, pride can very easily creep in. And it will not be good.

Pride opens the door to destruction.

Proverbs 16:18 (NKJV) 18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

Are we walking around with a haughty spirit, and wondering why we are not moving forward?

Maybe we have been waiting and waiting on some answers, but we have been prideful in many ways. God cannot exalt us if we already hold ourselves up higher than others.

It’s time to come down off that ladder and start by acknowledging that we aren’t any better than anyone else no matter what we possess, no matter what we’ve accomplished and no matter where we stand.

Let God deliver us from arrogance, pride and a haughty spirit today. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-22-22

Psalm 149:4 (NKJV) 4 For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation.

Humility is such an important quality that God’s word says He actually rewards it.

In fact, there are 3 different scriptures (Proverbs 3:34, James 4:6, 1 Peter 5:5) which state that He opposes the proud, “but gives grace to the humble”.

What is humility and how do we develop it?

Stated very simply, humility is defined as: a modest view of one’s own importance.

Many people often mistakenly assume that humility is a negative thing, especially when discussing self-esteem.

But we need to understand that self-esteem is not a Biblical principle. It is worldly and revolves around pride.

So, how is humility developed?

Sometimes it is taught to us by our parents. This might be done by them telling us not to be proud or haughty. Sometimes it comes by watching their example as they walk it out in their own lives.

Most often, though, we learn humility through being humiliated; shown that we were wrong.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that someone purposely embarrasses us. But that we learn lessons from the mistakes and poor choices that we make. And by seeing that we have made poor choices, which result in less than ideal things happening in our lives, we become more humble.

We learn from our mistakes and we understand that we don’t always have the right answers.

This is a process. It doesn’t happen overnight. But over time we understand that being willing to admit that we’re wrong and humbly accept our faults will make us less apt to be proud and haughty.

This puts us on a path to pleasing God and being rewarded by Him as well.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-20-21

James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

How do we remain humble?

We keep ourselves accountable to God’s word. By doing so our attitude, our disposition, our whole being and the way we carry ourselves will be subject to Him.

Proverbs 16:18 (NKJV) 18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

Pride is one of the things that the enemy will use to get a believer off course. It will cause great destruction in our life if we don’t catch it and deal with it immediately.

The best way to deal with anything is to be truthful with ourselves, recognize what we are doing and allow God to correct us as His child. He will show us how to get free from it and bring us back to the place we need to be in Him.

Hebrews 12:7 (NKJV) 7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?

He loves us dearly and will help us and keep us safe in our walk as we humbly stay surrendered to Him.

Do we want to be lifted up today? Pay attention to our behavior patterns, specifically pride, and let God grow us into humble believers.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-8-19

James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

It’s not very often that we think of God exalting us. Usually we think more of us exalting God.

But there are definitely times when God exalts us or lifts us up. Let’s take a look at this and see what we can get from it.

First, God specifies who He will lift up. Who would that be? Those who humble themselves in His sight.

God wants us to be humble. Humility has many benefits, whereas pride has many downfalls.

Now let’s look at why God would lift us up or exalt us.

He wants us to exemplify Christ. And He wants us to bring glory and honor to His name. It’s hard for us to do this if we are haughty, conceited or prideful.

Prideful people aren’t typically received well by others. People who think more highly of themselves than they should will tend to repel people, rather than attract them.

On the other hand, people who are humble will usually tend to attract others.

But wait. Does it really matter if we’re popular with others or not?

No. Not really. This isn’t about being popular. It’s about being a representative of God on the earth. We can’t represent God very well if people tend to stay away from us because of pride.

Because of this, it’s important that we let God show us where pride might be lurking in our lives, so we can let Him help us root it out.

In the long run, as we become humbler, more Christlike, we will begin to be able to see God work in our lives on a larger scale.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-5-19

James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

We often hear about making sure we lift God up and exalt Him. And so it should be. After all, He is God, right?

But did you know that there are times when God lifts us up and exalts us?

Yep! His word says so!

Now, this doesn’t mean that we should get prideful and puffed up about it. On the contrary, we need to be humble. If we are not humble, God will never even consider lifting us up.

It’s our pride that keeps us from being close to God. And it will be our pride that causes us to fall if we don’t keep it in check.

But God loves humility. He loves it so much that He says He will lift us up and exalt us if we’re humble.

Luke 18:14 (NKJV) 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

It’s safe to say that if God takes humility seriously, then we should also!
