  
If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray
and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven
and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
Humility is not our culture's biggest
asset or most desired character quality. But humility is what is demanded - not
so much because it's commanded (though that would be enough), because we've
earned it. Every year brings another wave of major failures in morality,
character, and spirituality.
Rather than progressing culturally, we find
ourselves slipping. Humility is earned! So let's be humble and call upon the
Lord!
Humility
Humility is perpetual quietness of heart.
It is to have no trouble.
It is never to be fretted or vexed, or irritable,
to wonder at nothing
that is done to me,
to feel nothing that is done against me.
It is to be
at rest when nobody praises me,
and when I am blamed or despised,
it is
to have a blessed home in myself
where I can go in and shut the door
and
kneel to my Father in secret and be at peace,
as in a deep sea of calmness.
when all around and about is seeming trouble.
Thought to Ponder........
I didn't learn humility with my head,
I learned humility with my heart.
