Humanity Divided
Humility can be considered to be the prime virtue. We see humanity divided. All of human life is divided up into two categories; these are the proud and the humble. In the book of Habakuk chapter 2 we read these words:
Hab 2:4- Look at the proud one; his soul is not upright — but the righteous will live by faithc — 5 and wealth indeed betrays him ( the proud man). He is an arrogant man never at rest. He enlarges his appetite like Sheol ( the grave) , and like Death, he is never satisfied.
The Arrogance of Pride
The proud man does not realise that he needs God. He thinks that he can do everything on his own and does not need the one who gave him every breath and every heartbeat that he ever had. This is the same attitude of pride that caused God’s arch- enemy Satan) to be driven out of heaven. But the humble man on the other hand who is depending upon God is looked on by the Lord with mercy and God gives him ( or her) the gift of faith. That God given faith enables him to be strong and overcome any obstacles as he rests and depends upon your mighty power of God.
Power In Humility
Humility is not weakness. Our Lord Jesus Christ before he came to the earth threw h the flaming stars into space; He was the creator of everything. But when he came to earth he said these words.
Matt 11:28 TO 30 – Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
Jesus our Example
Our almighty Lord voluntarily depended all through his life on the leading and power and guidance of God, his heavenly father. He took the form of a slave and even washed the disciple’s feet. That was actually the task of a slave at that time in Israel. But Jesus did this and was able to be humble because he knew who he was, where he had come from and that He was going to return to the Father in glory. When we know the grace of God and the power of God that is at the back of us and our eternal destiny, we will find that no task is too humble for us to stick to and we will serve the Lord in any seemingly lowly way God chooses.
