Psalms 25:9
He guides the humble to justice, He teaches the humble His way.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I am thinking, if Jesus is born in our time, let us say just today, would he be born, or rather, still choose to be born in a manger, grow up as a carpenter’s son, live together with fishermen, tax collectors and prostitutes, ride on a donkey, wash the feet of his friends before he dies?
I was thinking - and I know the answer is a resounding “Yes!” Because, He is a humble God. And His whole life on earth was a living example of humility.
Lord Jesus has taught and loved us through examples and parables. So it is only proper that we must deal with other Christians out of humility rather than pride, for we have no excuse for responding to fellow believers in a spirit of arrogance, haughtiness, or superiority.
To be humble means to depend on God, on His grace, to keep ourselves under His guidance, like Jesus, without leaning on ourselves but uniquely on His all-powerful and merciful might. And through the power of the Holy Spirit, we must learn to bless proud, less greedy, less envious, less anger, less lust…
That is, to clean out our soul, in order to fill us with Jesus, with his humility, love, joy and peace.
The Lord Jesus Christ was no religious hypocrite. He always practiced what He preached and preached what He practiced. He was totally consistent in all of His ways. No legitimate fault could ever be found in Him.
May we, His servants today, become more and more like Him!
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, may we forever embodies humility – make the esteem effort to listen, accept others - no matter what their race, their religion, their education – or lack of it, or their station in life. And we can only show this through service, with great love, to others. May You see the humbleness in our hearts from this day forward. Amen +
Teach me Your ways, O Lord.
