A SPIRIT OF HUMILITY!
2 Timothy 2:25a – Devotional
2 Timothy 2:25a
“In humility correct those who oppose us. Perhaps God will lead them to repentance so they will find the truth.“
I recall people describe someone who was near and dear to them. Often they try to find adjectives to describe what that person was. It is enlightening to recall that they frequently settled on humility as a defining quality.
It is so important for Christians to be known by our spirit of humility. We need to exhibit such a yielded and broken spirit before the Lord so that the Spirit of Christ within us oozes out to minister to those around us.
As I read Paul’s words to Timothy, I am impressed by his instruction to correct with gentleness the ones who are opposed to us. Those are the very ones we are to be gentle with and never to be resentful, impatient, or short with as we interact with them.
This type of Christ-like living does not occur by reading books or attending self-improvement sessions. It comes about by a constant and consistent walk with the Lord. It demands a love of His Word and time spent communing with Him in prayer. The more time we spend with Him, the more we will become like Him. The Lord is our ultimate example of humility.
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
