Bible verses about humility

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-8-15

by

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

In all your ways, acknowledge Him.

That’s a section of these verses that seems to get skipped over too often, while people focus on the first of the two verses.

The words “in all your ways acknowledge Him” are just as important as the rest of them, since acknowledging Him (submitting ourselves to Him) is critical to Him being able to direct our paths and bless us.

We spend so much time “chasing after God” and trying to put all the pieces of this great puzzle together. And in doing so, we tend to make things so much more complicated than they need to be.

God is big. There’s no doubt about that. And the things He does are intricately woven, which can make them seem very complicated. But as we begin to submit ourselves to Him, and humble ourselves, we will see His grace working in our lives.

Proverbs 3:34 (NKJV) 34 Surely He scorns the scornful, But gives grace to the humble.

This doesn’t mean that we can’t ask God questions, or that we have to understand everything about Him. But it means that no matter what comes our way, we can humble ourselves before Him and trust Him, even when we might not understand everything that’s going on.

That is true humility.

And humility is the key to growing in God and seeing our lives take shape as a believer.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-30-15

by

Proverbs 18:12 (NKJV) 12 Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, and before honor is humility.

Humility.

Without it, we can’t be saved. It takes humbling ourselves and admitting our need for God’s grace, mercy and salvation in order to receive it.

Without it, we can never be the person who God wants us to be. It takes humility to admit that we have faults and we need God to help us correct those faults.

Without it, we will continue to live in sinful ways. We need to be humble to allow the Holy Spirit to convict us of our sins and let Him show us where and how to change.

Without it, we will live a life full of unforgiveness against others. It takes being humble to admit that we are sometimes wrong and we need to forgive others when they do wrong to us.

Humility will lead us into God’s arms. Pride, the opposite of humility, will lead us away from His arms, and into the arms of the enemy, if we’re not careful.

We all need to seek God and ask Him to show us where we have pride in our lives, and ask Him to help us remove it so we can draw closer to Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-4-15

by

Micah 6:8 (NKJV) 8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

In the verse above there is a lot to take in. There’s a lot of “meat” there. But, today, let’s take a look at the last part; to walk humbly with your God.

Humility and pride; two complete opposites. To be humble means to drop our pride. That’s a big deal and it can take a lot of work and effort for some of us.

Pride is a killer of so many things; relationships, opportunities, careers, friendships and many more. But most importantly, it can kill our walk with God if we’re not careful.

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

God wants us to walk before Him humbly. If we are to ever build a relationship with Him, we need to let Him show us where we’re carrying pride and then let Him help us to lay that pride down.

He will show us everything we need to know if we let Him. It might hurt a little at first. Heck, it might even hurt a lot, but our hurts will heal once we get past ourselves and let God work in us, to mold us and shape us into who He made us to be.

The less we fight Him on this, the less it will hurt. And the less we resist, the sooner we can get ourselves fixed up and moving in the direction He wants for us.

Remember; it’s better to get right with God than to always be right!

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-17-14

by

Jeremiah 9 :23,24 (NKJV) Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches; 24 But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me,That I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the Lord.

This is how God would like us to walk; humbled in Him. For in Him we are wise, in Him we are mighty and in Him we are rich!

We are so blessed! But that is not what he wants us to glory in. Instead, He is asking us to understand Him, to know Him and to walk every day in humility.

Only God can keep us humbled when we walk in such blessings, by staying tightly knitted to Him.

One day as I was praying, God spoke to me. He told me to stay close to Him. The exact words He used were “tightly knitted”.

He gave me an example of a husband and wife. As they sit close together on a couch or wherever it may be, nothing can squeeze in between them without being noticed. And the closer they get to each other, the more noticeable that thing is that’s trying to squeeze between them.

It is that way when we get close to God. We get so close, when we are  tightly knitted with Him, that anything trying to come in between us stands out quickly.

Get tightly knitted with Him today so that we may remain humble in all that He blesses us with.
