Humility

[Dingleberry]

Humility is such an important Christ-like virtue preached throughout Scriptures.

One of my favorite examples of proper humility comes from Peter. Regarded as the closest apostle to Jesus, he could have been obnoxiously arrogant. A superstar.


As Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him
and fell down at his feet and worshipped him.

But Peter lifted him up, saying,
"Stand up, I myself am also a man."

- Acts 10:25-26

Peter demonstrated that ALL praise and glory belong to Jesus. Think of all the arrogant d-bag elites we have in our society. Their downfall will be fugly.

 

[Dingleberry]

Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord,
And He will lift you up.

- James 4:10

 

[Dingleberry]

And nobody says it better than Jesus Himself, of course.


"...Whoever exalts himself will be humbled,
And he who humbles himself will be exalted."

- Luke 14:11

 

[Dingleberry]

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit,
But in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

- Philippians 2:3
