He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to humble yourself to walk with your God. Mic 6.8
Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, SHOWING ALL HUMILITY TO ALL MEN. Titus 3.1 3.2
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time, casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you. 1Pe 5.6 5.7
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. James 4.10
Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
I must humble myself as the little child who came when Jesus called in order to be great in the Kingdom of Heaven. Mt 18.4
If my people, who are called by my Name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2Chr 7.14
For everyone who exalts himself will be abased, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
We should humble ourselves before God and let Him search our hearts and confess our sins, rather than exalting ourselves in the presence of God. Lk 18.14
When pride comes, then comes shame; but with the humble is wisdom. Pr 11.2
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. Pr 16.18 16.19
He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him; he is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him. Jn 7.18
At any kind of social gathering where you are invited take the lowest place. This is one way to humble yourself.
Humility recognises that "I need God".
Recognize when people follow that it is only because they see that God is with me. Keep the attitude, "I need God".
......These are just a few quotes and verses I found on humility. I don't know about you, but I know that one thing is for sure, I am NOTHING compared to the Creator of the universe. I feel dissapointed in other people when I see that they are being self-righteous, putting themselves on a pedestal, floating away because their head is so big, however you want to think of it. And here I AM, being the same as all the 'high and mighty', airhead people I criticize. Thinking inside of how great I'm being, what a great person I am, how great my hair looks, seriously, it's absolutely ridiculous. And the worst part of it all: I'm pretty sure it is THE BIGGEST spiritual barrier I have ever felt between my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The very thing that has been at it's very highest point this past month or so, and I put my pride in the middle of it. I put my foggy, gray pride between God and I. The devil knows that it can so easily separate us from God, he knows that he can so easily slip it in our lives when we think we're being the strongest. And there ya go! Before ya know it your spiritual relationship kinda slips a little, and you don't understand this weird feeling in the pit of your stomach..that something is weird, you might even understand exactly what you're doing to yourself, and immaturely, naively find a way to jusify your idiocy, and continue living in it! But you don't understand why your spiritual fervor is not there! And that's sayin a lot cause I can get pretty flippin excited about JESUS!!! Your very spiritual excitement the thing that should define you, your relationship with Christ and your safety in Him, slipping away? UH OH! Might wanna fix that! Anyway, that's my little confession I guess =) God bless ya'll. You're in my prayers as brothers and sisters in Christ.
Phil. 4:13
