Be Inspiration Part 4

Proverbs 22:4

   As we possess the fear of the Lord, God asks us to show humility. Humility is the act of being humble. According to Dictionary.com humble means: not proud or arrogant; modest:to be humble although successful. We talked about doing acts of kindness, but we don’t boast about our kind works. Even when we do something important we still put others first, and we don’t brag about the good things we do. We are humble. This is called showing humility.

   Having humility doesn’t mean you can’t accept compliments or thanks. The balance between arrogance and accepting compliments can be confusing, but if we do our works for the glory of God and we use His wisdom, we can overcome pride. If you are struggling with aggogance, try going to the book of Psalms. There are many songs of thanks and cries for help. It’s a lot like an exercise. If we continue to bathe ourselves with God’s amazing character, we realize how great His faithfulness and greatness amounts. There are also verses in Proverbs which can help you to express humility. Challenge yourself this week to be humble! Have a great Tuesday! 🙂
