Are you humble?

In our walk with God he demands that we be humble not proud. Take a moment and look at the men of the bible and how they viewed themselves before an Almighty God:

Job: Job 40:4 “Behold, I am vile;

Abraham: Genesis 18:27 Then Abraham answered and said, “Indeed now, I who am but dust and ashes have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord:

Jacob: Genesis 32:10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which You have shown Your servant;

David: Psalm 22:6 But I am a worm, and no man;

Isaiah: Isaiah 6:5 So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips,

Peter: Luke 5:8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”

Paul: 1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

Until we humble ourselves before God and realize our worthless condition without Him we can never get right with Him. For God has told us:

Isaiah 64:6 But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away.

The good thing is though once we realize what we really our, we then can become clean again!!!

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Praise the Lord! Get humble and get right with God!
