“HUMILITY!”
2 Samuel 22:28
“You will save the humble people; but Your eyes are on the haughty, that You may bring them down.”
Some of the most tragic people are those who characterize themselves as being humble. One of the most despicable characters in Charles Dickens's David Copperfield was Uriah Heep. He would often reveal his pride in frequent references to his humility. Do you know any Uriah Heeps? Are you one?
One of the greatest issues of humility is self, but the moment we strive to become humble we have lost the battle. In the attempt to be humble, our focus becomes centered on what WE are doing. Without intending to, we stress how we act or behave, thereby revealing that SELF is on stage.
It is a battle, but there is a way to find victory over self. It is in one word: OTHERS! The more we let go of our own self-image and become concerned in making others successful, the more we will show Godly humility.
Jesus was the Son of God, but He set it all aside in order that others might find everlasting life. I want to be devoted to giving more effort toward helping others become victorious in thought, word, and deed.
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
