HUMILITY

HUMILITY

Practical ways to humble myself:

 Let this mind be in you 
which was also in Christ Jesus, 

who, being in the form of God, 
did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 

but made Himself of no reputation, 

taking the form of a bondservant, 

and coming in the likeness of men. 

And being found in appearance as a man, 

He humbled Himself 
and became obedient to the point of death, 

even the death of the cross. 

Therefore God also has highly exalted Him 

and given Him the name
 which is above every name, 

that at the name of Jesus 
every knee should bow, 

of those in heaven, 
and of those on earth, 

and of those under the earth, 

and that every tongue should confess
 that Jesus Christ is Lord, 

to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:5-11 

I will bless the Lord at all times; 
His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 
My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; 
The humble shall hear of it and be glad. 
Oh, magnify the Lord with me, 
And let us exalt His name together.
Psalm 34:1-3 

 The elders who are among you I exhort, 

I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, 

and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed: 

Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, 

not by compulsion but willingly, 

not for dishonest gain but eagerly; 

nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, 
but being examples to the flock; 

and when the Chief Shepherd appears, 

you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away. 

Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. 

Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, 
and be clothed with humility, 

for "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." 

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, 

that He may exalt you in due time, 

casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. 

Be sober, be vigilant; 

because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, 

seeking whom he may devour. 

Resist him, steadfast in the faith, 

knowing that the same sufferings are experienced 
by your brotherhood in the world. 

But may the God of all grace, 

Who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, 

after you have suffered a while, 

perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 

To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. 

1 Peter 5:1-11 

Adulterers and adulteresses! 
Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? 
Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world 
makes himself an enemy of God. 
Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, 
"The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously"? 
But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: 
"God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." 
Therefore submit to God. 
Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. 
Cleanse your hands, you sinners; 
and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 
Lament and mourn and weep! 
Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, 
and He will lift you up.
