"Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up." -James 4:10 (NIV)
Some people feel the need to have others know that when they are "right." I have been in situations where people are the loudest or most obnoxious people in order to gain attention and recognition. Just because someone doesn't brag, need to be the loudest, want the most attention, or have to be right doesn't mean they are not worthy of attention!
Humility may be mistaken by some as weakness, but in order to be great in God's Kingdom, we need to humble ourselves. We can recognize our own shortcomings and identify our need for help from God. We cannot become more important by shouting or telling others of our accomplishments. Instead, God is pleased when we recognize our shortcomings and acknowledge that our accomplishments are products of His blessings. It is only when we are truly humble, that God can lift us up and allow us to share in His glory!
Be humble and allow God to lift you up!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your blessings in my life. Help me to always be humble and following Your will in my life. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
