How To Be Humble

Posted by ministerandy on August 30th, 2006 filed in Christian Living

After it sitting on my desk for 3 months I have finally started Humility by C.J. Mahaney. It is a pretty good book. It is basic, written in a very easy to read style, and discusses a subject that all need help with. As I read, I have been struck by the following thought; Humility is not something we can seek after, and if we do seek after humility it will result in pride. One will find oneself so delighted and proud of being so humble. The only way to gain true humility is to seek something greater than ourselves, namely God. Only when we get a sense of his greatness, wonder, and being can we properly view ourselves and walk in humility. And if we do gain a true sense of who He is we will have no other response but humility.

    As you preached last Sunday, you mentioned what Christ gave up to dwell among men….my mind wentto Philp. 2 where the true definition of humility is expressed and illustrated. Good thoughts Andy

    Thanks Steve. I am glad your mind was drawn to Philippians 2, because that was the sourse for that point, although I did not reference it. Humbling passage.
