Humility...Is it for you?

Being humble....think about it how many of us are really humble? Its hard to be in this world, I think. I would like to say that I try to be but to be honest its hard. We all can get prideful sometimes. We can get prideful about an accomplishment, a job promotion, some new material thing that we just purchased at the store. Or if you are like me I get prideful when I beat my husband at a min-golf game!:) I look at some of the teenagers today they are prideful, they think that they are invincible. I am thinking of one teenager that I know that every time he gets something new whether it be a watch or a shirt, or shoes he always tells whoever will pay attention to him how he bought it with his own money and how much it cost and how wonderful it is that he has money so that he can buy thing like that. Its sad to think that our whole existence can be prideful! I read some verse in the Bible about being prideful and being humble and I think these verse will give us all a dose of humble -pie!

Matthew 18:4 -Therefor, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew23:12-For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

Proverbs16;19-Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud.

James 4:6 But he gives us more grace, That is why scripture says, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."

1Peter 5:6-Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

Being Humble~~~~~Lord, help me to be humble in all I do and say. Help me to be lowly in spirit, help me to never get prideful but give all the glory to You and You alone!
