Humility - The Great Key To God’s Favor
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be
exalted. Matt. 23:12
All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Humble yourselves,
therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. 1
Pet. 5:5-6
Daniel Fast Coaching: Day One
_Dear Ones,_
On this first day, we want to be reminded just how important it is to humble
ourselves before God and others. God’s word makes it very clear that “God
opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 1 Peter 5:5
God desperately wants to give us grace, blessing, and favor. As our loving
Father, He would like nothing more than to “lift us up”. But there is just
one condition, that we humble ourselves before Him and others. Notice that
it is our job to humble ourselves, and then it is God’s privilege to give us
grace in response. We don’t earn God’s grace, but we do position ourselves
properly before Him, so that we can receive all His blessings. Moses, Jesus,
and Paul all described themselves as humble and attributed this core value
to the favor they received from God.
Humility is an attitude of the heart which gets revealed in our actions. It
is giving God exactly what He wants, in the way He wants it with the motive
of pleasing and glorifying Him. Humility is depending on God for everything,
calling upon the help of the Holy Spirit throughout the day, and then giving
God the credit for all that is good.
Because humility is such a key to living a blessed life before God, we
suggest you make it a point to understand what it is and what it isn’t. How
about reading Andrew Murray’s book entitled “Humility”, or Peter Wagner’s
book with the same title “Humility”? By the time you get through this
material, you will be totally convinced that humility is really a
foundational virtue which is the basis for all other virtues. You will make
the act of humbling yourself before God and others a foundational part of
your lifestyle.
So during this Daniel Fast, don’t focus on what you are or are not going to
eat (or drink). Focus on getting right with God and with others.
May The Holy Spirit Pour Out The Fruit of Humility Upon Your Life,
