A devotional reflection on cultivating a humble heart before God and others.

Topical

Humility is seeing ourselves rightly before God. Scripture teaches that humility is the posture of a heart surrendered to God. It reflects Christ, who humbled Himself for our salvation.

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord. (James 4:10)

God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. (James 4:6)

Let this mind be in you… (Philippians 2:5)

Christian Application

Humility encourages believers that God draws near to the lowly and gives grace to the humble. Reject pride, serve others, and walk low before God.

Sample Prayer

Lord, give me a humble heart that reflects the spirit of Christ. Amen.
