Matthew 18:4 (NKJV) 4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Who will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a question that the disciples asked Jesus. They were trying to figure out which of them would be the greatest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wow! When Jesus heard their question, He wasted no time in putting them in their places and setting the record straight!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

God and man think differently. Man looks at outward things, while God looks at inward things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We see accomplishments, while God sees our heart and its motives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Without Him, we can do nothing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

John 15:5 (NKJV) 5 \u201cI 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<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s important that we keep God first. He will teach us to be humble in everything that we do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
