Humility

Today is "Be Humble" Day.

I wasn't aware that there was such a day until today.  So I posted about "Be Humble" Day on my facebook and included a Scripture verse.  One of my daughters and one of my cousins "like[d]" my status post.

I guess humility isn't very popular.  : /

But for believers, God calls us and desires for us to be humble.  A humble person is teachable and submissive, not stiff-necked or proud.  A humble person puts others first rather than pushing to be "ME first."

I know I have much to learn before I will walk easily in the ways of the humble, but I hope that my heart is inclined in the right direction.  And thankfully, as is always the case, the Word of the Lord is my guide, a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble His way.  Psalms 25:9 

For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the humble with salvation.  Psalms 149:4

Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, who do His just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of the LORD.  Zephaniah 2:3

When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.  Proverbs 11:2

The reward for humility and fear of the LORD is riches and honor and life.  Proverbs 22:4

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.  Luke 11:14

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.  Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.  Philippians 2:3-4

Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness and patience.  Colossians 3:12

Humble yourselves before the LORD, and He will exalt you.  James 4:10
