Humble???

Interesting how much God talks about being humble vs. being prideful in the bible. Search it out sometime. Obviously it is very important to God....our attitudes is a sign of our hearts!

Thomas Kempis said this “The humble live in continuous peace, while in the hearts of the proud are envy and frequent anger.” Think about that. It is so true. So are you a humble person or are you full of pride? Be honest with your self. 

Here are a few verses to think about:

Psalm 31:23 Love the Lord all you Saints! The Lord preserves the faithful but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride.

Proverbs 8:13 The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil.
Pride and arrogance and the way of evil
and perverted speech I hate.

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

Job 22:29 For when they are humbled you say, ‘It is because of pride’;
but he saves the lowly.

Psalm 25:9He leads the humble in what is right,
and teaches the humble his way.

Psalm 149:4 For the Lord Takes pleasure in his people; He adorns the humble with Salvation!

James 4:6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

Pretty plain and simple, huh?

Are you humble? Only with the help of the Holy Spirit is true humility possible!
