For a Christian, being humble means knowing that we can do nothing without God. We realize that our place is not in first place, where our flesh would like to be, but back in last place. Our pride wants to push us forward to where we have no right to be.
For God is being humble even an option? He is all powerful, all knowing, and completely deserves to be number one in everyone’s life. God can’t lower Himself since He is and always will be above everyone.
For God all things are possible including humility. God is so very humble that, even without looking at how Jesus lowered Himself to become man, God shows us how humility truly works. God does not lower Himself, but rather raises up others to His level.
We do not deserve to be a part of His family and yet we are adopted into His family. We are not second class relatives, but His children with all rights and honors which come with being in God’s family.
Humility is not lowering yourself so others are above you. Humility is living at your appropriate level and lifting up everyone else.
