All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”—1 Peter 5:5 (NIV)
THE BIBLE MAKES it clear that a humble heart is essential to spiritual growth. How do we aim for humility? One answer lies in Paul’s letter to the Philippians where he suggests, “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 2:5).
Heavenly Father, I will follow Your example; guide me to serve You with humility.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun. It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.—Psalm 19:4–5 (NIV)
The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.—John 3:8 (NIV)
In that day the Lord Almighty will be a glorious crown, a beautiful wreath for the remnant of his people.—Isaiah 28:5 (NIV)
