The Word of God says He resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. The power of humility quickens you in the spirit so than you can discern wisely and walk in authority.
Humility grounds you in and centers you on God. It helps you remember,
It’s not your wisdom
It’s not your knowledge
It’s not your intelligence
These are given to you as a gift from God. God grants grace to the humble which is the power to do His will. Humility allows people to be open to the possibility of making a mistake and it’s an integral part of moral leadership.
The degree of humility is based on how a person responds to failure, power, and obedience to God.
Nearly all men can handle adversity, but if you really want to test a man’s character, give him power.
Abraham Lincoln
Humanity has to do with viewing yourself in the proper manner regarding your gifts, abilities, purpose, weakness, and limitations.
Humility is not self-deprecation or putting yourself down, treating yourself badly, self-mortification, self-pity, self-hatred, low self-esteem, or acting legalistic with religious traditions.
Humility is self-dignity, self-respect and assurance of your place as a child of God and your call in the kingdom of God (John 3:30). It’s a result of a person responding to God and the realities of life and wisdom from the experiences of life.
One of the easiest ways to develop humility is to learn from other people’s mistakes. If you see someone else making a mistake, take note of it.
Humility is one of the most powerful virtues we can cultivate. It’s also the hardest to practice. But, humility should be our goal so that God will fight for us rather than against us (1 Peter 5:5-7).
