SCRIPTURE: James (NIV) 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom…. 17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18 Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.
OBSERVATION: True wisdom from God is expressed in humility. We are called to be servants. Any authority one may have is only a tool for serving others.
Humility is the natural response for those who know the price Jesus paid on the cross. Humility is the proper response for those who understand the greatness of God’s plan! In God’s service there is no room for pride!
APPLICATION: Many people have characteristics that make them attractive to others. Others are drawn to the way they fix their hair, or their accent when they talk, maybe their smile or laugh. Humility is a characteristic that makes one attractive to God!
PRAYER: Holy Spirit, help me make humility a dominant characteristic in my life. Let it be like a suit of clothes that fit me well. Amen
