(1 Peter 5:6-7 NKJV) Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, {7} casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Humility: the quality or state of not thinking you are better than other people.
Humility is such an important character trait, but it can be so hard to achieve in so many ways.
It seems that just when we think we’re being humble, God comes along and shows us how prideful we are.
Most of us would never think or admit that we are anything less than humble, but pride can creep into our lives in so many ways.
Want to know the best way to become humble? Serve others. Serve others who are in need. Spend time helping someone in trouble. Spend time doing things for people who can’t do for themselves.
Go to “the least of these” and be their hands and feet. When someone seems like they might be less than you in any way at all, put yourself in their shoes. Take the time to learn how they got to where they are. Sometimes hearing other people’s trials and struggles is very humbling.
There is never a lack of needs. Find someone in need and help tend to them. Get God on it. Let Him direct you to those He wants you to help. Sometimes it’s the ones who don’t ask for help who need it the most.
(Matthew 25:35-40 NKJV) “{35} ‘for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; {36} ‘I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
