Word for the day: “The gift of humility.”
Luke 14:11 (NKJV) “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Good morning, Leaders.
Let’s take a sample size look at the value of the leadership currency called “Humility” and glean how this characteristic may add value to your growth.
THERE IS INCREDIBLE VALUE IN HAVING THE CHARACTERISTIC OF HUMILITY IN YOUR LIFE.
The definition of humility is the quality of being humble. If you meet one of your favorite celebrities and feel nervous and in awe of them, you are experiencing humility.
Humility comes from the Latin word humilis, which means low. Another compelling way to understand humility is that someone who spends their life caring for others demonstrates it.
Humility doesn’t save us, but it can help us in the tough times of our lives. Humility doesn’t change your circumstances, but it helps you submit to God’s purposes no matter the circumstances you may be experiencing.
I have discovered that Humility doesn’t speed up prayer answers; it accelerates acceptance of God’s will.
Do you understand how the gift of humility can impact your life?
HUMILITY HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND THE HEART OF GOD’S LOVE AT A DEEPER LEVEL.
Humility doesn’t make decisions for you but inclines your heart toward decisions consistent with God’s plan for your life.
Humility doesn’t earn you more of God’s love, but it helps you experience God’s love at a deeper level.
When we give God an opportunity to bless us, whether through people or situations, we acknowledge that we need God’s grace (Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV).
As we receive God’s blessing, we will be blessed beyond measure. We will then be humbled by what the Lord has done in our lives.
What we receive freely, we can freely give. When we empty ourselves of pride and selfish desire, God can extend His amazing grace through our lives to others.
This is just a snippet of the value of humility for your life and the heart of God.
POINT TO PONDER
It doesn’t matter where you are in your life right now; all that matters is being positioned to experience the plan of God for your life.
Humility positions you to step into God's plan for your life and to impact others!
