Walk In Humility (Daily Devotional)

Welcome everyone, so glad that you joined in. We are learning about humility and we are looking at some of the scriptures that help us understand humility better. We’ve seen that humility means walking submitted to God, obedient to God and relating with one another with the right perspective. Today, we will continue to look at relating with others. Let’s read a scripture together, this is from Colossians chapter 3, verse 12, ‘Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put-on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;’ We see here that we are encouraged to put on kindness, tender mercies, humility, meekness and long suffering in our interactions with others. Humility, it is an attitude, it is also a choice. Humility is not something that we imagine in our hearts and never really appears in our lifestyle but it instead, should be a part of our behavior, it should be a part of our words and in that way, we are able to express true humility. True humility is a choice and it is expressed. When it comes to interacting with others, it is important for us to respect others and esteem them well and know that they carry a wonderful identity in Christ just as much we carry it. When it comes to what God has done in our lives, sometimes, we can be so glad about those things that it could even lead to pride but we must always recognize that whoever we are and whatever we have been able to see done in and through our lives is because of the grace of God and the goodness of God. This sort of an attitude will also help us recognize others, and recognize the great things that God is doing in their lives and to never put people down or look down on people. When we put people down, we tend to look down in a sense, but when we always remember what God has done for us, we tend to look up and look at God as our source, that is the right perspective for us to carry. I’m reminded of someone who walked in humility and walked with humility with people, that is Joseph in the bible. We see that God had elevated him greatly and we see that he had every reason to be upset and angry with his siblings for what they had done but he remembered how God had been his help through those times of difficulty and when his brothers came to visit him during the famine, we see how he forgave them, he never really held a grudge or gave place for a root of bitterness, instead, he was humble, he recognized that the same God who helped him is the same God who is also able to help his brothers, no matter where they were with regard to their needs, where they were with regard to their attitude. He extends generosity, he extends forgiveness that comes out of humility. So, this is a great example for us to fall back on and remember that we need to employ humility in our relationships. Let’s pray together, Father God, we are grateful for the wonderful relationships that you’ve blessed us with. Help us to be people who will lift others up and to walk in humility, in Jesus’s name we pray, Amen.
