CLOTHED WITH HUMILITY
Today’s Text: Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. (1 Peter 5:5)Today’s Thoughts: The human heart is proud. We naturally want attention and honour. We want to be important and we often think of ourselves first. But God wants us to think of others before ourselves. He wants us to be humble servants of His who know that we are all that we are only because of Him. We need to always look at ourselves in comparison to our mighty God, not in comparison to those around us. Yet at the same time, we need to see our worth in knowing that that same God values us. But in spite of what God or anyone else thinks of us, may we remain humble and clothed with humility. Let us love others and place them first.
Today’s Testimony: Today I’m going to share another song. This one was written in 2006. Whenever we face the threat of becoming proud we need to run to the Lord and ask Him to humble us. Christ humbled Himself more than we could ever really comprehend when He came to this earth to live and die for us – surely we can follow in His steps even though it be in a far smaller degree.
Lord Humble Me
Lord humble me
Clothe me with humility
Lord change my heart
So that my mind from You won’t depart
Lord may You be able to say I’ve died
To self and my pride
Out of Your love and tender mercy
O Lord humble me
So many times I look at who I am
And feel that on my own I can stand
But then I look again and clearly see
That there is nothing good in me
So when I’m threatened by my pride
I run to my Saviour’s side
And plead with Him earnestly
Asking Him to humble me
Lord humble me
Clothe me with humility
Lord change my heart
So that my mind from You won’t depart
Lord may You be able to say I’ve died
To self and my pride
Out of Your love and tender mercy
O Lord humble me
Today’s Task: Ask the Lord to humble you and keep you humble. Ask Him to clothe you with humility. Ask Him to help you to be a powerful witness for Him through your humble life. Thank the Lord that He was willing to humble himself enough to live and die for you. God values you – praise Him.Lord humble me
